Configuring the Configuration Archive

Using the configure replace command with the configuration archive and with the archive config
command is optional but offers significant benefit for configuration rollback scenarios. Before using the
archive config command, you must first configure the configuration archive. Starting in privileged
EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the configuration archive:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal

archive
Step 3 path url
Step 4 maximum number
Step 5
time-period minutes
Step 6
end
Step 7
show running-config
Step 8 copy running-config
