Introduction

The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller can concatenate the full system configuration into a single backup file and also archive log files. You can perform a set of actions on backup files or archived log files, such as saving, backing up, listing, and deleting the files.

To save disk space, the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller has archiving features that use the standard tar and gzip utilities. Archiving lets you easily change, move, store, and back up the system’s log files. After a log file has been archived, it can be transferred to a remote host. The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller has a set of file manipulation commands that you can apply only to archive files.

Using the backup command enables you to successfully save and restore an existing configuration. The major difference between backup and archive files is that backup commands are used for configurations and log archive commands are used with log files.
