The svcconfig backup command creates three files that provide information about the
backup process and cluster configuration. These files are created in the /dumps directory on
the configuration node and can be retrieved by using SCP. Use the lsdumps command to list
them, as shown in Example 12-2.
Example 12-2 Listing the backup files by using the CLI

12.3.2 Downloading a configuration backup by using the GUI
The IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 does not offer an option to initiate a backup from the GUI.
However, you can download existing daily backups or manual backups that were triggered
from the CLI.
To download a configuration backup file by using the GUI, complete the following steps:
1. Browse to Settings → Support → Support Package and select Manual Upload
Instructions. See Figure 12-24.
