Backing up the startup configuration file

The backup function allows you to copy the startup configuration file to be used at the next startup from the
device to the TFTP server.
The backup operation backs up the main startup configuration file to the TFTP server for devices supporting
main and backup startup configuration files.
Before the backup operation:
• Ensure that the server is reachable and enabled with TFTP service, and the client has the read and write
permission.
Use display startup command (in user view) to check whether you have specified a startup configuration
•
file to be used at the next startup. If the file is set as NULL or does not exist, the backup operation fails.
