10.2.1 Mechanism of Backup and Restoration
By backing up network device configuration files, restoration of network device configurations can be done quickly when network devices
are replaced due to network failures.
Network device configuration files can be backed up and saved within 5 generations. If the number of saved generations exceeds 5
generations, old generations will be deleted, starting with the oldest generation.
Network device environment file can be backed up and saved only 1 generation. If backup is performed, the saved network device
environment file will be deleted automatically.
This product supports the backup and restoration of the following network devices configuration files.
