sysconf config backup

Back up the appliance configuration data, and save it to the appliance file system. There is no limit on the size of individual backup files or the number of backups that can be stored on the file system, other than the available space. This space is shared by other files, such as spkg and log files, so account for this when planning your backup and restore strategy.

If desired, you can use the command sysconf config export to save the backup file to the internal HSM, or an external backup token after you create it.

NOTE    This command does not backup the HSM and partition configurations. See hsm backup and partition backup for more information.

The backup file includes configuration data for the following modules and services:

Network	Network configuration
NTLS	NTLS configuration
NTP	Network Time Protocol configuration
SNMP	SNMP configuration
SSH	SSH configuration
Syslog	Syslog configuration
System	System configuration (keys and certificates)
Users	User accounts, passwords, and files
Webserver	Webserver configuration for REST API
