Usage guidelines
Before manually archiving the running configuration, 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 methods for saving the running configuration as checkpoint references. For more information
about the archiving mechanism, see the section about configuration rollback in Fundamentals
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.
