By backing up network device configuration files, restoration of network device configurations can be done quickly when network devices are replaced due to network failures.
Network device configuration files can be backed up and saved within 5 generations. If the number of saved generations exceeds 5 generations, old generations will be deleted, starting with the oldest generation.
