Pre-Upgrade Configuration Backup

Prior to performing the Online Software Upgrade, you must manually perform a full
configuration backup and store it on a third-party server. This backup maintains the
ability to create a recovery that may occur because of abnormal hardware and/or
network failure during the upgrade.
To perform a full configuration backup, take these 2 steps:
1. At the prompt, type tools tg bk 2 and press Enter.
client208::~# tools tg bk 2
2. Store the backup file (Project.backup.tar) on a third-party server.
For details on performing a backup, refer to 'SC Software Backup/Restore Procedures'
on page 91.
