The svcconfig backup CLI command creates three files that provide
information about the backup process and the configuration. These files are
created in the /tmp directory of the configuration node.
The following table describes the three files that are created by the backup
process:
File name Description
svc.config.backup.xml This file that contains your configuration
data.
svc.config.backup.sh This file that contains the names of the
commands that were issued to create the
backup of the system.
svc.config.backup.log This file contains details about the backup,
including any error information that might
have been reported.
6. Check that the svcconfig backup command completes successfully. The
following output is an example of the message that is displayed when the

If the process fails, resolve the errors, and run the process again.
7. Issue the following command to exit the system:
