3: Manage level
Parameters
minutes: Specifies the interval (in minutes) for automatically saving the running configuration, in the
range of 10 to 525,600 (365 days).
Description
Use archive configuration interval to enable automatic running configuration archiving and set the
archiving interval.
Use undo archive configuration interval to restore the default.
By default, the system does not automatically archive the running configuration.
Before enabling automatic configuration archiving, use the archive configuration location command to
specify the directory as the configuration archive directory and specify an archive name prefix.
Configuration archive is a function that facilitates configuration rollback. It provides the manual and
automatic approaches to saving the running configuration as checkpoint references.
Automatic configuration archiving enables the system to automatically save the running configuration to
the archive directory. For more information about the archiving mechanism, see the section about
configuration rollback in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
To avoid decreasing system performance, follow these guidelines:
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, archive the running configuration
manually, or 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.
Change the archiving interval depending on the amount of available storage space. The shorter the
•
interval, the more free storage space is required.

and display archive configuration.

# Configure the system to save the running configuration every 60 minutes.
