Description
The backup command extracts and stores configuration information from the
system. The backup command produces the svc.config.backup.json and
svc.config.backup.log files and saves them in the /dumps/svcconfig folder. The .json file contains the
extracted configuration information, and the .log file contains details about command usage.
Note: If a previous svc.config.backup.json file exists in the /dumps/svcconfig folder, it is
archived as svc.config.backup.bak; only one archive file is stored in the
/dumps/svcconfig folder.
The underscore character (_) prefix is reserved for backup and restore command usage; do not use the underscore character in any object names.
