(Optional) Formats a target disk that already contains a system backup.
By default, the system backup command formats the target disk if that target
disk does not contain a previous system backup. If the target disk already
contains a backup, then the disk is not formatted again. The format keyword
forces a format of the target device even if it contains a previous system
backup.
(Optional) Specifies an alternative node location for the backup target disk,
such as the standby DSDRSC.
By default, the backup files are copied to the target device in the current
DSDRSC. Use the location node-id keyword and argument to specify an
alternative node for the backup files, such as the standby DSDRSC.
The node-id argument is expressed in rack/slot/module notation.
(Optional) Backs up the software and configuration files to all RPs in the
router. Each RP must contain a disk in the specified target device location,
such as disk1.
(Optional) Performs the command in asynchronous mode. In asynchronous
mode, the command runs in the background, and the EXEC prompt is
returned as soon as possible.
(Optional) Performs the command in synchronous mode. This mode allows
the installation process to finish before the prompt is returned. This is the
default mode.

The target device cannot be the current boot device.
