backup

To perform a backup of the Cisco CDA configuration data and place the backup in a repository, use the backup command in the EXEC mode. To perform a backup of only the Cisco CDA application data without the Cisco ADE OS data, use the application command.

Note Before attempting to use this backup command in the EXEC mode, you must copy the running configuration to a safe location, such as a network server, or save it as the Cisco CDA server startup configuration. You can use this startup configuration when you restore or troubleshoot your Cisco CDA application from the backup and system logs. For more information of copying the running configuration to the startup configuration, see the “copy”.
