Enabling Automatic Configuration Archiving; Manually Archiving Running Configuration; Performing Configuration Rollback - H3C S5500-HI Series Fundamentals Configuration Manual

Enabling automatic configuration archiving

To avoid decreasing system performance, follow these guidelines when you configure automatic
configuration archiving:
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) is used, archive the running configuration manually,
or configure automatic archiving with an interval longer than 1440 minutes (24 hours).
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.
2. Enable automatic
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 member 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:
