Usage guidelines
Before manually archiving the running configuration, you must use the archive configuration location
command to specify a directory as the configuration archive directory and specify an archive name
prefix.
Configuration archive facilitates configuration rollback. It provides manual and automatic methods for
saving the running configuration as checkpoint references. For more information about the archiving
mechanism, see the section about configuration rollback in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
To ensure system performance:
If the device configuration does not change frequently, manually archive the running configuration
•
as needed.
• If a low-speed storage medium (such as a flash memory) is used, do one of the following:
Archive the running configuration manually.
Configure automatic archiving with an interval longer than 1440 minutes (24 hours).
• If a high-speed storage medium (such as a CF card) is used and the device configuration changes
frequently, set a shorter saving interval.
Examples
