Description

The backup command extracts configuration information from the cluster, allowing you to restore your configuration whenever necessary. The backup command produces .xml, .sh, and .log files and saves them in the /tmp directory. The .xml file contains the extracted configuration information. The .log file contains details about command usage.
Note: If a previous svc.config.backup.xml file exists in /tmp, it is archived as svc.config.backup.bak; only one archive file is stored in the /tmp directory.
Immediately archive the .xml file and the related .key files, and use the clear command to erase those files from the /tmp directory. Change all objects with default names to nondefault names; you cannot restore objects with default names.

The underscore character (_) prefix is reserved for backup and restore command usage; do not use the underscore character in any object names.
