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.
Certificates, if any, are added to the backup archive, and are restored to thetrust store upon sysconf config restore.
The backup file includes configuration data for the following modules and services:
| CTC | Crypto Traffic Control configuration |
| 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 |
