 Introduction

1 Introduction

This document describes how to create, export, and delete a configuration

backup from a Ericsson R6000 node. It also describes how to import and restore
a saved configuration. For brevity, only the Command-Line Interface (CLI) is
used in the examples.

Both local context and management context support importing and exporting
configuration backup.

2 Create Configuration Backup

2.1 Procedure of Creating a Configuration Backup

1. Log on to the Ericsson R6000 management system.

2. (Optional) Configure backup housekeeping through command backup-

housekeeping.

3. Create a configuration backup through command save backup-package

configuration. Specify a descriptive name for the backup, see Example 1. If
the name is not specified, one default name which follows
configuration_<time> will be used. If the command doesn't return error , it
has been accepted successfully.

4. Otherwise the command cannot be executed.

5. Check all the the details via command show backup-package [<name>]
[details].
