Table 3-5. File Management Commands (Continued)
Command Description
rename The rename command renames source-file to
target-file. Both source-file and target-file
must reside on logical or physical file systems;
they cannot be on remote file systems. Both
source-file and target-file must be writable.
rmdir The rmdir command deletes a directory off of
a physical file system. If directory exists, it will
be removed. If it does not exist, an
appropriate failure message notifies the user.
Everything contained in the directory will be
removed as well.

Backing Up and Restoring Files

ProCurve Networking recommends that you backup your system image and
configuration files.

Backing Up System Files

To back up your system:
For local backups, enter the copy command and specify the file to be
■
backed up and destination path and filename.
For remote backups, enter the copy <scp | tftp> command and specify the
■
file URL and the destination path.
For secure image transfer, use the copy scp command.
To restore your system from a backup file, simply reverse the steps above
(copy command for local restore and copy <scp | tftp> for remote restore).

Backing Up and Restoring Configuration Files

■ You can back up the running-config, and startup configuration files to a
local directory or to a remote host.
■ In case of a system failure, you can restore your system as you have it
configured. In a worst case scenario of a system failure, you can download
a new default startup configuration file from the ProCurve Networking
Web site at http://www.procurve.com.
