Backing up administration and configuration files using a USB mass-storage
device
About this task
The following procedure backs up all the Branch Gateway configuration and administration
files, but does not back up any firmware files.
Back up the Branch Gateway regularly to a USB mass-storage device. This backup can be
very helpful in restoring the Branch Gateway’s configuration if it becomes faulty, or in restoring
the entire Branch Gateway.
Use at least a 128 MB USB mass-storage device since it can hold two full backup directories
with all images and configuration files. You can create multiple backup directories as long as
there is space in the USB mass-storage device.
Procedure
1. Connect a USB mass-storage device to the Branch Gateway USB port.
2. Type s to commit the current configuration to NVRAM.
