Enabling automatic configuration archiving
To avoid decreasing system performance, follow these guidelines when you configure automatic
configuration archiving:
• If the device configuration does not change frequently, manually archive the running configuration
as needed.
• If a low-speed storage medium (such as a Flash) is used, archive the running configuration manually,
or configure automatic archiving with an interval longer than 1440 minutes (24 hours).
• If a high-speed storage medium (such as a CF card) is used and the device configuration changes
frequently, set a shorter saving interval.
Make sure you have set an archive path and file name prefix before performing this task.
