1.3 Configuration File Backup and Restoration

1.3.1 Introduction to Configuration File Backup and Restoration

Formerly, you can only back up and restore the configuration file of the units one by one
in a fabric system.
By using the configuration file backup and restoration feature, you can easily back up
and restore the configuration files in the whole fabric as well as in a specific unit.
In the backup process, the system first saves the current configuration of a unit to the
startup configuration file, and then uploads the file to the TFTP server. In the restore
process, the system downloads the startup configuration file from the TFTP server to
the local unit.
The configurations of different units in the fabric system can be saved in different .cfg
configuration files on the TFTP server. These configuration files form the startup
configuration of the whole fabric.
