When you back up a storage system configuration, the system configuration is saved in a single file with a file name that you specify. By default, backup configuration files are created in the
/etc/configs directory.
Step
- Enter the following command:
config dump [-f] [-v]
config_file
-f forces the new file to override an existing backup.
-v causes Data ONTAP to also back up a volume-specific configuration.
config_file
is the name or the path and name of the backup file you are creating.
