Configuration Replace and Rollback | 303
You do not have to enable the archive service again if you save the running configuration after completing
task. If you reload the system or upgrade your FTOS version without saving the running configuration you
must enable the archive service again.
Archiving a Configuration File
Archive the current running configuration file using the command archive config from EXEC Privilege
mode.
