Backing Up The Current Image During Upgrade From The Cli - Siemens SCALANCE WLC711 Maintenance Manual

Note
The backup image file name is self generated when saved for both local or remote options (for
example, WLC-<platform>-09.21.01.0001-rescue-user.tgz). It is recommended that you maintain this
format for the backup image file name. If you must customize the file name, prepend the
customized file name to the original generated file name of the backup image.
To save the existing software image on a remote FTP server, select the Remote option, and then
type the following:
FTP Server – The IP address of the FTP server that stores the image file.
User ID – The user ID used to log on to the FTP server.
Password – The corresponding password for the user ID.
Confirm – The corresponding password for the user ID to confirm the password was typed
correctly.
Directory – The directory on the server in which the image file is stored.
Filename – The image file name, which must end with -rescue-user.tgz.

rescue-user.tgz file. Optionally, you can remove any existing local backup file by running the no
upgrade <filename> command.
