Configuring Backup Copies
The config-backup command allows you to specify the maximum number of backup versions
of configuration and index files kept in the primary location.
For example, assume the config-backup count is set to 5 and the configuration file is called
xyz.cfg. When a save command is executed, the file xyz.cfg is saved with a .1 extension. Each
subsequent config-backup command increments the numeric extension until the maximum count
is reached. The oldest file (5) is deleted as more recent files are saved.
xyz.cfg
xyz.cfg.1
xyz.cfg.2
xyz.cfg.3
xyz.cfg.4
xyz.cfg.5
xyz.ndx
Each persistent index file is updated at the same time as the associated configuration file. When
the index file is updated, then the save is performed to xyz .cfg and the index file is created as
xyz.ndx. Synchronization between the active and standby SF/CPM is performed for all
configurations and their associated persistent index files.
CLI Syntax: config>system
