Protecting Memory Card Files - Nortel Passport 8306 Installation Manual

48 Switch operations
Protecting memory card files
Write-protect the memory card for backup purposes after you successfully
load the configuration file and save your configuration because Nortel
ships each memory card with the read-write protect switch in the
unprotected position.
Typically, you do not operate the switch with a write-protected memory
card. Make a copy of your configuration on another memory card,
write-protect that card, and store it in a safe place. If you do not have a
second memory card, you can copy your configuration to a File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) or Trivial FTP (TFTP) server.
