Usage guidelines
Before enabling automatic configuration archiving, use the archive configuration location command to
specify the configuration archive directory and archive file name prefix.
Configuration archive is a function that facilitates configuration rollback. It provides manual and
automatic methods for 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 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.
• If a low-speed storage medium (such as a flash memory) is used, archive the running configuration
manually, or configure automatic archiving with an interval longer than 1440 minutes (24 hours).
• 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 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
Archive files will be saved every 60 minutes.
