File Management Commands

Usage

If a file in the archive has a counterpart on the UNIVERGE WL

Controller, the archive version of the file replaces the file on the UNIVERGE WL

Controller. The restore command does not delete files that do not have

counterparts in the archive. For example, the command does not completely

replace the user files area. Instead, files in the archive are added to the user files

area. A file in the user area is replaced only if the archive contains a file with the

same name.

The backup command stores the MAC address of the UNIVERGE WL

Controller in the archive. By default, the restore command works only if the

MAC address in the archive matches the MAC address of the UNIVERGE WL

Controller where the restore command is entered. The force option overrides this

restriction and allows you to unpack one UNIVERGE WL Controllers archive

onto another UNIVERGE WL Controller.

If the configuration running on the UNIVERGE WL Controller is different from

the one in the archive or you renamed the configuration file, and you want to

retain changes that were made after the archive was created, see the “Managing

System Files” chapter of the Configuration Guide.

Examples

The following command restores system-critical files on a

UNIVERGE WL Controller, from archive sysa_bak:

PROMPT# restore system tftp:/10.10.20.9/sysa_bak

success: received 11908 bytes in 0.150 seconds [ 79386 bytes/sec]

success: restore complete.
