D-Link DWS-1008 Cli Reference Manual page 302

Usage: If a file in the archive has a counterpart on the switch, the archive version of the file
replaces the file on the switch. The restore command does not delete files that do not have
counterparts in the archive. For example, the command does not completely replace the user
files area. Instead, files in the archive are added to the user files area. A file in the user area is
replaced only if the archive contains a file with the same name.
Note: If the archive's files cannot fit on the switch, the restore operation fails. D-Link recommends
deleting unneeded image files before creating or restoring an archive.
The backup command stores the MAC address of the switch in the archive. By default, the
restore command works only if the MAC address in the archive matches the MAC address of
the switch where the restore command is entered. The force option overrides this restriction and
allows you to unpack one switch's archive onto another switch.
Caution: Do not use the force option unless you are certain you want to replace the switch's files
with files from another switch. If you restore one switch's system files onto another switch, you
must generate new key pairs and certificates on the switch.
If the configuration running on the switch is different from the one in the archive or you renamed the
configuration file, and you want to retain changes that were made after the archive was created,
see the "Managing System Files" chapter of the D-Link Mobility System Software Configuration
Guide.
Examples: The following command restores system-critical files on a switch, from archive
sysa_bak:
DWS-1008# restore system tftp:/10.10.20.9/sysa_bak
success: received 11908 bytes in 0.150 seconds [ 79386 bytes/sec]
success: restore complete.
