execute restore
Use the following commands to manually import system files from an FTP/TFTP server as indicated:
• execute restore config—Imports a backup of the configuration text file. It is imported from a TFTP server.
• execute restore config-file—Imports a tar file that inclues the configuration text file, error page files, script files, and ISP address book files. It is imported from a TFTP server.
• execute restore image—Imports a firmware image. It is imported from an FTP or TFTP server.
• execute restore isp-address—Imports an ISP address book text file. When you perform the restore operation, the imported address book takes priority over entries from the predefined address book (default for the firmware image). In systems with multiple VDOMs, the command applies to the current VDOM only. It is imported from a TFTP server.
• execute restore waf-signature—Imports a WAF signature database update. It is imported from an FTP or TFTP server.
| Back up a configuration before restoring a different version. This command restores configuration changes only, and does not affect settings that remain at their default values. Default values might vary by firmware version. |
