Backing Up Configuration Files
OnBoard administrators can create a compressed backup of all configuration
files and store the backup in /mnt/hda3/backup/
configuration_files.gz. Any compressed configuration file that
already resides in the directory is overwritten. The following procedures show
how administrators can back up configuration files in different environments
on the OnBoard.
T To Backup Configuration Files
1. If you are logged into the Web Manager as an administrative user, go to
the Mgmt → Backup/restore screen and click the “Save” button.
2. If you are logged into the OnBoard console as root, enter the saveconf
command.
Restoring Backed Up Configuration Files
The administrator can restore backed-up configuration files that have been
stored in /mnt/hda3/backup/configuration_files.gz by
performing the steps in the following procedure.
T To Restore the OnBoard Configuration Files
to the Last Saved Version
This procedure assumes that you or a previous administrator has previously
run the saveconf command, or clicked the “Save” button on the Web
Manager Mgmt → Backup/restore screen after making changes to the
configuration. This procedure restores the configuration files to the state they
were in when they were last backed up.
1. If you are logged into the Web Manager as an administrative user, click
the “Load” button on the Web Manager Mgmt → Backup/restore screen.
2. If you are logged into the OnBoard console as root through the console
port, via telnet or ssh, enter the restoreconf command.
[root@OnBoard root]# saveconf
[root@OnBoard root]# restoreconf
