NX-OS: Archive Configuration Guide
Configuration Guide for Archive Feature
The Archive feature allows you to store and manage configuration files on a remote server. This can be useful for backing up your configurations, or for sharing them with other users.
Using VRF Management
VRF management allows you to create and manage multiple virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instances on a single physical router. This can be useful for isolating different traffic flows, or for creating different security zones.
To use VRF management with the Archive feature, you must first create a VRF.
Using the Log File System
The log file system is a special file system that is used to store log files. Log files contain information about system activity, such as errors, warnings, and debugging information.
You can use the log file system to store archive files. To do this, you must first create a log file.
Debug File System
The debug file system is a special file system that is used to store debug log files. Debug log files contain more detailed information about system activity than regular log files.
You can use the debug file system to store archive files. To do this, you must first create a debug log file.
NX-OS 9000 Series Switches
NX-OS 9000 series switches do not have the same archive functionality as older Cisco switches.
However, you can still use the Archive feature on NX-OS 9000 series switches by using the VRF management or log file system methods described above.

To create an FTP user for autobackup, you must first create a user account on the FTP server.
Once you have created a user account, you can use the following command to create an FTP user for autobackup on the Nexus 5010 switch:
