You could try HiPer ARC Manager (HARM) or the bulk configuration file facility. Some commands for the bulk config file approach: save configuration saves the configuration to a file (eg ConfigBulkFile) set bulk_file changes the bulk config file name reset configuration restores the config from the bulk file (eg after uploading) I recall that you need to do a reboot after restoring the config as reset config only loads it onto flash, and doesn't replace the working config (at least on 4.1.x). Doing a save all will overwrite the flash config with the config in memory (eg if you want to undo a reset, do a save all). TFTP can be used to shift the file on and off the HARC flash. It's a binary file, so use the binary mode. It would be best to try it all out before you need it :-) Regards Ian Quinn InterConnect Ltd Phone: (64 4) 494 1144 Fax: (64 4) 494 1140 Mobile: (64 25) 2477 608 Street: Level 2, 5-7 Willeston Street, Wellington Postal: PO Box 5527, Lambton Quay, Wellington E.Mail: ianq@interconnect.co.nz http://www.interconnect.co.nz

Hi all

Just following on from the ARC tftp upload thread, does anyone have an cunning way to backup and restore the full config of an NMC or ARC card.

Not to be an ass, but since I never found a way, I initially ran a script of my first config and saved it out as a file. Whenever I make any changes, I also make it to this file. So far, it's made configuring new ARCs extremely easy...

Now of course a single config file like a Cisco has would be wonderful, as it makes it super easy to back things up. Long ago I tftp'd down all the files I could grab off the thing and really couldn't find a single file with all settings...

Its a real pain if you have to swap out cards and re-configure the cards manually.

Cheers
