Embodiment approach

[0041] Method 1. The network device obtains the current time (such as the local current time of the network device), and uses the current time and the configuration file name to generate a new configuration file name, and uses the new configuration file name to modify the changed configuration file name, and The changed configuration file is sent to the file transfer server through the file transfer client, and the file transfer server stores the changed configuration file to the backup server, so that multiple configuration files with different configuration file names are stored on the backup server.

[0042] For example, for configuration file A, when configuration file A is modified for the first time, the network device obtains the current time as time 1, and uses the current time (time 1) and configuration file name (configuration file A) to generate a new configuration file name (configuration file A_time 1), and modify the name of the changed configuration file A to con...

Abstract

The invention discloses a backup method and device for configuration files. The method comprises the steps that a network device modifies configuration information of the configuration files stored in local-storage media after receiving a configuration information modification instruction, and updates the modified configuration files to the local-storage media; when determining that the configuration information of the configuration files are changed, the network device sends the changed configuration files to a file transmission server through a file transmission client configured on the network device, wherein the file transmission server is configured on a backup server, and the file transmission server stores the changed configuration files into the backup server. The backup method and device are independent of network management software of a third party, and a user does not need to add investment for the third party. When the configuration files of the network device are updated, the network device can back up the configuration files to the backup server immediately, and the problem that the configuration files cannot be rapidly recovered is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a configuration file backup method and device. Background technique [0002] Network devices are generally index communication devices and security devices, such as routers, switches, firewalls, etc. Configuration files of network devices are generally stored on local storage media. Once a hardware-level non-recoverable failure occurs on a network device, even if the user updates and replaces the hardware, the configuration files stored on the local storage medium cannot be quickly restored, and thus user services cannot be quickly restored. [0003] Based on this, when the configuration file of the network device is updated, backing up the configuration file to the backup server at the first time plays a vital role in quickly restoring user services in case of a disaster. [0004] In order to back up the configuration files to the backup server, the network management so...
