How's 8100 series config full backup?

Hi,

In addition to the great information that Barrett provided, you can also enable logging to a file in putty and show running-config and keep a copy of the log.

Hi,

First, make sure you are copying the intended config file.  The running-config may have settings in it that have not yet been saved to the startup-config.  A second reason why you may not be seeing expected settings is if the setting is a default setting, it will not show in the config file.  In most cases, settings are only shown when they are changed from the default

For stack configurations, "meta-data" is part of hardware configuration applied at boot time before the switch firmware is started (and before the startup configuration is read). Any stack information shown in the startup and running configurations is simply copies of the stack configuration for the user’s knowledge. The actual stack information used by the switch is not that which is stored in the startup-config. 

So there are really two different sets of backups needed for a stack. Saving the configuration file as a backup, and you also have the stack standby switch which is a hardware (and startup-config) backup of the stack master, configured and managed at a different level. 

Hope this helps.  -B
