Viewing, Applying and Removing Changes

.
Dumps the current configuration on screen in a format that allows you
to restore the configuration without downloading the configuration
to a file server. Save the configuration to a text file by performing
a copy-and-paste operation to a text editor. The configuration can
later be restored by pasting the contents of the saved text file at any
command prompt in the command line interface using the global paste
command. When pasted, the content is batch processed by the VPN
Gateway. To view the pending configuration changes resulting from the
batch processing, use the diff command. To apply the configuration
changes, use the apply command.
If you choose to include private keys in the configuration dump, you
are required to specify a password phrase. The password phrase you
specify applies to all private keys. When restoring a configuration that
includes private keys, use the global paste command. Before pasting
the configuration, you will be prompted for the password phrase you
have specified.
Note: When using this command on an ASA FIPS machine, private keys
are only displayed for client certificates.
