Today, I'd like to share with you a knowledge point. The details are as follows:
Actually“save” has 4 different types: save, save configuration, save data and autosave.
1)"save data" means saving the database, including saving the currentconfiguration information to the database,database contains all configuration information, when system reboot it will restore the datasaccording to the database's configuration, but the configuration indatabase is not called "configuration file". In the database theconfiguration information is in binary format.
2)"save configuration" means saving the configuration file(script) only. But the configuration information won't be sync to the database. Using the command "display saved configuration" youmay see the information of the configuration file. We can download the savedconfiguration file (script) to PC directly without downloading the databasefile. In the configuration file the configuration is in txt. format.
3)"save" means saving both database and configuration together.By this way the configuration information in the database is alwayssync with that in the configuration file. By default, when system reboots itwill recover datas from database, not from configuration file. Ifwe want to system restore datas from configuration file, we must perform thecommands:
"saveconfiguration", and then "active configuration", by whichthe system will use the configuration file to restore configuratio datas.
Usually,we use command "save" to save both database and configurationfile simutaneously.
4) "Auto-save" means only saving the data (the configuration has been saved into the database in binary format), not the configuration file (txt. file is not saved). After auto-save, if you reboot the system the configuration must be able to restored, should not be lost.
I hope it will be helpful for you. Thank you!
