File Management Commands - D-Link DWS-1008 Cli Reference Manual

DWS-1008 CLI Reference Guide
Use file management commands to manage system files and to display software and boot
information.
backup
Creates an archive of switch system files and optionally, user file, in Unix tape archive (tar)
format.
Syntax: backup system [tftp:/ip-addr/]filename [all | critical]
[tftp:/ip-addr/]filename
all
critical
Defaults:
Access:
Usage:
Use the critical option if you want to back up or restore only the system-critical files required
to operate and communicate with the switch. Use the all option if you also want to back up
or restore backup configuration files, image files, and any other files stored in the user files
area of nonvolatile storage.
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.
