Make sure you have set an archive path and file name prefix before performing this task.
To enable automatic configuration archiving:
Step
1. Enter system view.

configuration archiving
and set the archiving
interval.

Manually archiving running configuration

To save system resources, disable automatic configuration archiving and manually archive
configuration if the configuration will not be changed very often. You can also manually archive
configuration before performing complicated configuration tasks so you can use the archive for
configuration recovery after the configuration attempt fails.
Make sure you have set an archive path and file name prefix before performing this task.
Perform the following task in user view:
Task
Manually archive the running configuration.

Performing configuration rollback

To avoid rollback failure, follow these guidelines:
•
Do not reboot devices while the system is executing the configuration replace file command.
•
Make sure the replacement configuration file is created by using the configuration archive
function or the save command on the current device.
•
If the configuration file is not created on the current device, make sure the configuration file
content format is fully compatible with the current device.
•
The replacement configuration file is not encrypted.
To perform a configuration rollback:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Perform configuration rollback.
The configuration rollback function might fail to reconfigure some commands in the running
configuration for one of the following reasons:
•
A command cannot be undone, because prefixing the undo keyword to the command does not
result in a valid undo command. For example, if the undo form designed for the A [B] C
command is undo A C, the configuration rollback function cannot undo the A B C command,
because the system does not recognize the undo A B C command.
