How Configuration Files Changes Are Managed
Changes to configuration files can be both made and backed up in different
environments on the OnSite by performing the actions shown in the following
table.
Saving a backup copy of the configuration files allows an administrator to
restore the backed up configuration files even after a reboot or after a software
upgrade to overwrite all changes made to the configuration files since the last
save.
The system software updates the affected configuration files and creates a
compressed copy of the configuration files in /mnt/hda3/backup/
configuration_files.gz on the resident flash memory. If a
compressed configuration file already exists in the backup directory, it is
overwritten. The file and the backup directory are shown in the following
screen example.
Backed-up changes to configuration files can be restored by performing the
actions shown in the following table.
