A backup image can be created during an upgrade from the CLI.
EWC.extremenetworks.com# show upgrade 1: AC-MV-09.01.01.0123-1.rue 2: rue-08.31.01.0192-rescue-user.tgz
If you want a local backup file to be created, the upgrade process removes any previous *-rescue-user.tgz file. Optionally, you can remove any existing local backup file by running the no upgrade <filename> command.
EWC.extremenetworks.com# no upgrade 2
The command deletes the image with index 2, which, in this example, is vps-08.31.01.0192-rescue-user.tgz. You can also specify the full image name.
upgrade ac AC-MV-09.01.01.0123-1.rue bckto local
upgrade ac AC-MV-09.01.01.0123-1.rue bckto flash
The command will upgrade and create a backup image with the default name on the flash drive.
You can also specify the custom name for the backup image.
upgrade ac AC-MV-09.01.01.0123-1.rue bckto flash backup-rescue-user.tgz
Note
To backup to flash, you must insert a flash drive before running the command.upgrade_backup_dest 192.168.4.10 test abc123 system/backups backup-rescue-user.tgz
The name specified for “upgrade_backup_dest” is used as the backup file name.
upgrade ac AC-MV-09.01.01.0123-1.rue bckto ftp
The command first makes a backup image of the running system preserved on the FTP server, then installs the selected upgrade image.
