Parameters
directory: Specifies a configuration archive directory, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. The
directory must take the format storage-medium-name:/folder-name. On an MSR4000, this directory must
already exist on the active MPU. On an MSR2000 or MSR3000, this directory must already exist on the
device.
filename-prefix: Specifies a file name prefix for configuration archives, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 30
characters. Valid characters are letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
Usage guidelines
Before a manual or automatic configuration archiving, you must specify the archive directory and file
name prefix.
On an MSR4000, the configuration archive function saves the running configuration only on the active
MPU. To make sure the system can archive the running configuration after an active/standby switchover,
create the configuration archive directory on both active and standby MPUs.
Configuration archives take the file name format prefix_serial number.cfg, for example,
20080620archive_1.cfg and 20080620archive_2.cfg. The serial number is automatically assigned from
1 to 1000, increasing by 1. After the serial number reaches 1000, it restarts from 1.
After you change the file directory or file name prefix, or reboot the device, the old configuration archives
are regarded as common configuration files, the configuration archive counter resets, and the display
archive configuration command no longer displays them. The serial number for new configuration
archives starts at 1.
