Backing Up System Configuration Settings
HP strongly recommends saving the configuration after the initial configuration
changes and periodically thereafter.
FTP must be used on Windows workstations to backup the system configuration. The
FTP server must be running before an upload can occur. Use the RSHD service or FTP
on a UNIX machine.
NOTE: The two supplied utilities, RSHD.EXE and CAT.EXE currently do not support uploads for
Windows, only downloads. These utilities are available from the support web site:

Use these steps to upload a backup copy of the configuration settings to a host
computer.
1. Verify that the RSHD service (on a UNIX machine) or the FTP service (on a
Windows or UNIX machine) is running on the host workstation.
2. Login to the switch as the admin user.
