Schedule or Create Device Backup

The Scheduled Backups and Device Backup tabs allows Organization Admins to back up device configurations for recovery, compliance, or migration purposes. Backups include:

• CLI startup-configuration
• Other file-based configurations present on the device

NOTE:

Before creating a backup, ensure the running configuration is persisted to startup-configuration. Run write memory directly on the device CLI, or Use A10 Control home page > Organization-Admin scope > Utilities > Device CLI utility to execute the same. This ensures the latest changes are included in the backup.

To schedule or create a device backup, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to any one of the following paths:
   • Organization-Admin scope > Infrastructure > Devices > Devices panel > select the required device and click the corresponding Kebab menu to select Backup Device Config.
   • Organization-Admin scope > Utilities > Device Backup > Device Backups tab > click + Create.
