Backing Up Configuration Files
Step 6 If the failover groups are configured with the preempt command, they will automatically become active
on their designated unit after the preempt delay has passed. If the failover groups are not configured with
the preempt command, you can return them to active status on their designated units using the failover
active group command.
Backing Up Configuration Files
To back up your configuration, use one of the following methods:
• Backing up the Single Mode Configuration or Multiple Mode System Configuration, page 41-8
• Backing Up a Context Configuration in Flash Memory, page 41-8
• Backing Up a Context Configuration within a Context, page 41-9
• Copying the Configuration from the Terminal Display, page 41-9

Configuration
In single context mode or from the system configuration in multiple mode, you can copy the startup
configuration or running configuration to an external server or to the local Flash memory:
• To copy to a TFTP server, enter the following command:
hostname# copy {startup-config | running-config} tftp://server[/path]/filename
• To copy to a FTP server, enter the following command:
hostname# copy {startup-config | running-config}
ftp://[user[:password]@]server[/path]/filename
• To copy to local Flash memory, enter the following command:
hostname# copy {startup-config | running-config} {flash:/ | disk0:/ |
disk1:/}[path/]filename
Be sure the destination directory exists. If it does not exist, first create the directory using the mkdir
command.
Backing Up a Context Configuration in Flash Memory
In multiple context mode, copy context configurations that are on the local Flash memory by entering
one of the following commands in the system execution space:
• To copy to a TFTP server, enter the following command:
hostname# copy disk:[path/]filename tftp://server[/path]/filename
• To copy to a FTP server, enter the following command:
hostname# copy disk:[path/]filename ftp://[user[:password]@]server[/path]/filename
