By backing up network device configuration files, restoration of network device configurations can be done quickly when network devices are replaced due to failures.
Up to 5 generations of network device configuration files can be backed up and saved. If the number of saved generations exceeds 5 generations, older generations will be deleted, starting with the oldest generation.
Only 1 generation of network device environment files can be backed up and saved. If backup is performed, the saved network device environment file will be deleted automatically.
This product supports the backup and restoration of network device configuration files for the following network devices.
