File Management Commands

The maximum supported file size is 32 MB. If the file size of the tarball is too

large, delete unnecessary files (such as unneeded copies of system image files)

and try again, or use the critical option instead of the all option.

Neither option archives image files or any other files listed in the Boot section of

dir command output. The all option archives image files only if they are present

in the user files area.

Archive files created by the all option are larger than files created by the critical

option. The file size depends on the files in the user area, and the file can be quite

large if the user area contains image files.

The backup command places the boot configuration file into the archive. (The

boot configuration file is the Configured boot configuration in the show boot

command’s output.) If the running configuration contains changes that have not

been saved, these changes are not in the boot configuration file and are not

archived. To make sure the archive contains the configuration that is currently

running on the UNIVERGE WL Controller, use the save config command to save

the running configuration to the boot configuration file, before using the backup

command.

Examples

The following command creates an archive of the system-critical files

and copies the archive directly to a TFTP server. The filename in this example

includes a TFTP server IP address, so the archive is not stored locally on the

UNIVERGE WL Controller.
