1.2.6 Backing up/Restoring the Configuration File for Next Startup
I. Backup/restore function overview
The backup/restore function allows you to backup or restore a configuration file for next
startup through operations at the CLI. TFTP is used for intercommunication between
the device and the server. The backup function enables you to backup a configuration
file to the TFTP server, while the restore function enables you to download the
configuration file from the TFTP server for next startup.
For H3C S7500E series Ethernet switches, when you execute the restore command
on your main board, you are restoring the startup configuration file for both the main
board and the backup board. However, when you execute the backup command on
your main board, your operation has no effect on the backup board.
 Note:
For H3C S7500E series Ethernet switches that support main/backup attribute, the
effect of the backup/restore operation applies to the main startup configuration file.
