MDS-9148 Zone Backup
Any suggestions on how to backup zones on a Cisco MDS-9148 from the CLI?
I have done it for years from the Cisco Fabric Manager GUI, but that product seems to be end of life now.
No Events found!

i would grab the entire config, you can always pick out the zones out of that and import them. Another klunky option is to run:
sh zones > bootflash:zones.txt
copy bootflash:zones.txt tftp://blah blah blah
Upgrade to DCNM, it has the same "Fabric Manager" like functionality.

just zones or the entire config ?
copy startup-config tftp:// /config.file.name
if you don't have tftp, you can use scp, ftp ..etc.

How about backing up the zones only? They seem to change more often than general configuration changes to the switch.

Hi Dynamox,
What if I want to have entire backup of current active zoneset ? Could you please let me know the command in Brocade & Cisco.
Thanks
