Saving the boot configuration to a file
To save the boot configuration to a file, or to save a log or trace file, enter
the following command:
save <savetype> [file <value> ] [verbose] [standby <value>
] [backup <value> ]
where:
•
•

If a PCMCIA card is removed before a write operation (for example, upload)
is complete, the file that is being written to can have a corrupted end of
file (EOF) marker. Before removing the PCMCIA card, execute the CLI
command stop-pcmcia.
Also, some PCMCIA cards do not contain a file attribute table (FAT).
Therefore, you need to use the dos-chkdsk /pcmcia CLI command
to check the card. If you receive error messages, use the dos-chkdsk
/pcmcia/ repair command or the dos-format command.
For example, to save a boot configuration file as a backup file, you use the
following command:
save bootconfig file boot.cfg backup2

verbose saves default and current configuration. If you omit this
parameter, only parameters you have changed are saved
standby <value> saves the specified file name to the standby CPU
backup <value> saves the specified file name and identifies the file
