How to Use Configuration Replace and Configuration Rollback
Creating a Configuration Archive
No prerequisite configuration is needed to use the configure replace command. Using the configure replace
command in conjunction with the Cisco IOS configuration archive and the archive configcommand is optional
but offers significant benefit for configuration rollback scenarios. Before using the archive config command,
the configuration archive must be configured. Perform this task to configure the characteristics of the
configuration archive.

after a filename; it is only necessary
when specifying a directory.
