Router#

This task saves the configuration to NVRAM.

Managing Configuration Files

On the Cisco CSR 1000V, the startup configuration file is stored in the NVRAM partition. As a matter of routine maintenance on any Cisco router, users should backup the startup configuration file by copying the startup configuration file from NVRAM onto one of the router’s other file systems and, additionally, onto a network server. Backing up the startup configuration file provides an easy method of recovering the startup configuration file in the event the startup configuration file in NVRAM becomes unusable for any reason.

The copy command can be used to backup startup configuration files. The following examples show the startup configuration file in NVRAM being backed up:

Example 1: Copying a Startup Configuration File to Bootflash

Router# dir bootflash:

Directory of bootflash:/
