WAS v8.5 > Set up the application serving environment > Work with server configuration filesBack up and restore administrative configuration files
We can back up administrative configuration files using the backupConfig command. We can restore administrative configuration files using the restoreConfig command. WebSphere Application Server represents its administrative configurations as XML files. You should back up configuration files on a regular basis.
Restore the configuration only if the configuration files that you backed up are at the same level of the release, including fixes, as the release to which we are restoring.
- Run the backupConfig command to back up configuration files.
- Run the restoreConfig command to restore configuration files. Specify backup files that do not contain invalid or inconsistent configurations.
