Usage Information
Use this command to perform the following tasks:

  • Back up the startup configuration
  • Retrieve a previously backed-up configuration.
  • Replace the startup configuration file.

CAUTION Dell EMC Networking recommends that you do not use a copy command to download an OS10 image to the switch. The downloaded image occupies a large amount of disk space. Use the image download command to download an OS10 image.
When using the scp and sftp options, always enter an absolute file path instead of a path relative to the home directory of the user account; for example: 
copy config://startup.xml scp://dellos10:password@10.1.1.1/home/dellos10/backup.xml

Use the copy command with the severity-profile option to download or upload severity profiles from a remote location. When you copy a severity profile from a remote location to an OS10 switch, ensure that the name of the severity profile is different than that of the default profile (default.xml) or the currently active severity profile.
