Maintaining the system : Backup and restore : Backing up your configuration using the CLI
Backing up your configuration using the CLI
If you only want to back up the core configuration file, you can perform this backup using the CLI.
 
The core configuration file does not contain all configuration data. Failure to perform a complete backup could result in data loss of items such as Bayesian databases, dictionary databases, mail queues, and other items. For details on performing a complete backup, see “Backup and restore”.
To back up the configuration file using the CLI, enter the following command:
execute backup config tftp <filename_str> <tftp_ipv4>
where:
<filename_str> is the name of the file located in the TFTP server’s root directory
<tftp_ipv4> is the IP address of the TFTP server
