Configuring Boot Devices

You can configure a boot device to replace the primary boot device on your Services
Router, or to act as a backup boot device. The backup device must have a storage
capacity of at least 256 MB. Use either the J-Web interface or the CLI to take a snapshot
of the configuration currently running on the router, or of the original factory
configuration and a rescue configuration, and save it to an alternate medium.
NOTE: For media redundancy, we recommend that you keep a secondary storage
medium attached to the Services Router and updated at all times.
If the primary storage medium becomes corrupted and no backup medium is in
place, you can recover the primary compact flash from a special JUNOS software
image. You can also configure a boot device to store snapshots of software failures,
for use in troubleshooting.
For information about installing boot devices, see the Getting Started Guide for your
router.

Configuring a Boot Device for Backup with the J-Web Interface
