WAVE-694 IOS Image Backup Procedure

[hitoshihomma77]

Dear all,

Hi, I'm trying to take IOS image backup of WAVE-694.

However, the normal router copy command(copy flash; tftp; or usbflash0;) doesn't work on the WAVE-694.

Please share me any procedure to take backup of IOS image for WAVE-694.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

Hitoshi

Hi Hitoshi,

The WAAS software is not packed into a single file as the one of a router and you don't have access to the OS file system so there is no way to backup it.

What you can do is download the install packages/recovery ISO images from the following link and use them in case you need to rebuild a WAAS device:

Dear Nicolas,

Hi, Thank you for letting me know this.

I was still searching the way to backup it, but I haven't been found it.

Now I understood it.

Therefore, backup WAAS OS imange file is unabled and only is it possible upgrading/recovery IOS image?

Hi Hitoshi,

That is almost correct, you can upgrade but also downgrade the software either through the CM GUI or through the "copy install" command.

Recovery should be kept as last option when the software install itself is damaged.
