Archiving a Switch
You can create an
XML
archive file containing the configuration parameters.
Basically any data received by QuickTools is archived. This archive file can be
used to restore the configuration on the same switch or on a replacement switch.
You can also use the archive file as a template for configuring new switches to
add to a fabric. Passwords are not archived. Security Group secrets are not
included in the archive and must be re-configured using the CLI after a restore.
