Backing Up Startup Configuration

When you save the startup configuration file, the switch stores it in three
places: in the boot flash and the PC card of the primary management module,
and if there is a redundant management module, in its PC flash card as well.
It is recommended that you store a backup of the startup configuration file on
a central server.
■ To store a backup copy of the startup configuration file on to a server, use
the copy command in Privileged Exec mode:
ProCurve#copy startup |<filename>|<url>
To make a local backup in the management module, specify the following
■
command in Privileged Exec mode:
ProCurve#copy startup flash:startup.bak
where startup.bak represents the chosen filename for your local backup.
If the startup file is accidentally overwritten, the switch uses its default
■
configuration. You can then use the copy command to overwrite the
corrupted startup file with the backup file, as in the following example:
ProCurve#copy flash:startup.bak startup
