and affects only that logical switch behavior.

Configuration file backup

Brocade recommends keeping a backup configuration file. You should keep individual backup files
for all switches in the fabric and avoid copying configurations from one switch to another. The
configUpload command, by default, only uploads the switch context configuration for the logical
switch context in which the command is executed.
In non-Virtual Fabric mode, you must use the configUpload
switch and the chassis information. In Virtual Fabric mode, the configUpload
selected to upload all logical switches and the chassis configuration. Only administrators with
chassis permissions are allowed to upload other FIDs or the chassis configuration.
