Backing Up The Configuration - Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Service Manual

Backing Up the Configuration

The configuration backup function enables an administrator to:
Back up the appliance configuration, consisting of system metadata only (such as the
■
network configuration, local users and roles, service settings, and other appliance metadata).
Restore a previously saved configuration from a backup.
■
Export a saved configuration, as a plain file, so that it may be stored on an external server,
■
or included in a backup of a share on the appliance itself.
Import a saved configuration that was previously exported from this system or another
■
system, making it available for a restore operation.
