HP MSR Series Command Reference Manual page 178

Usage guidelines
If the file specified for the command does not exist, the system creates the file before saving the
configuration. If the file already exists, the system prompts you to confirm whether to overwrite the file. If
you choose to not overwrite the file, the system cancels the save operation.
If you do not specify the file-url option for the command, the command saves the running configuration
to an .mdb binary file as well as a .cfg text file. The two files use the same file name. An .mdb file takes
less time to load than a .cfg file.
If you specify the file-url option for the command, the command only saves the running configuration to
the specified .cfg file.
In safe mode, the system saves configuration in a temporary file and starts overwriting the target
next-startup configuration file after the save operation is complete. If a reboot, power failure, or out of
memory event occurs during the save operation, the next-startup configuration file is retained.
In fast mode, the device directly overwrites the target next-startup configuration file. If a reboot, power
failure, or out of memory event occurs during this process, the next-startup configuration file is lost.
Examples

next-startup configuration file.
