Description
The
backup command extracts and stores configuration information from the
system. The backup command produces the
svc.config.backup.xml, svc.config.backup.sh, and
svc.config.backup.log files, and saves them in the
/tmp folder. The .xml file contains the extracted
configuration information; the .sh file contains a script of the
commands used to determine the configuration information; and the .log file contains
details about command usage.
Note: If a previous svc.config.backup.xml
file exists in the /tmp folder, it is archived as
svc.config.backup.bak; only one archive file is stored in the
/tmp folder.
The underscore character (_) prefix is reserved for backup and restore command usage; do not use the underscore character in any object names.
