Backup Manager
The Backup Manager page provides a means to save a backup copy of the switch’s image or
configuration files on a local system or network directory.
The page displays different options depending on the protocol and image or file type selected for
the backup. As shown in the example in Figure 46, TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) has been
selected as the backup method for saving the code (entire image) onto a server.
To display the Backup Manager page, click the Maintenance > Backup Manager.
