Creating a configuration backup file
Keep a backup copy of the configuration file in case the configuration is lost or unintentional
changes are made. You should keep individual backup files for all switches in the fabric. You
should avoid copying configurations from one switch to another.
1. Open the Switch Administration window.
2. Select Show Advanced Mode.
3. Select the Configure tab.
The Configure screen is displayed.
4. Select the Upload/Download tab.
The Upload/Download configuration screen is displayed (Figure 34).
By default, Config Upload is chosen under Function, and Network is chosen as the source of
the configuration file.
