Usage guidelines
Before enabling automatic configuration archiving, complete the following tasks:
1. Create a directory for saving configuration archives.
2. Use the archive configuration location command to specify the directory as the configuration
archive directory and specify an archive name prefix.
Configuration archive is a function that facilitates configuration rollback. It provides the manual and
automatic approaches to saving the running configuration as checkpoint references.
Automatic configuration archiving enables the system to automatically save the running configuration to
the archive directory. For more information about the archiving mechanism, see the section about
configuration rollback in System Management Configuration Guide.
To avoid decreasing system performance, follow these guidelines:
• If the device configuration does not change frequently, manually archive the running configuration
as needed.
• If a high-speed storage medium (such as a CF card) is used and the device configuration changes
frequently, set a shorter saving interval.
• Change the archiving interval depending on the amount of available storage space. The shorter the
interval, the more free storage space is required.
Examples
# Configure the system to archive the running configuration every 60 minutes.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] archive configuration interval 60
Info: Archive files will be saved every 60 minutes.
