Sure.  Try this:

conf t

archive

!           “$h” means the appliance’s hostname will be the filename.  The filename format is hostname-month-!day-hour-minute-seconds-timezone-version, like “Hostname-Apr-23-10-51-13-AEST-0”.

!           Make sure you put a “-“ at the end of the “$h”.  Compare the two and you’ll see.  J

!           If you are using Windows to store these files, DO NOT USE “$t” because it won’t work.  Cisco will store the timestamps as “:” and Windows don’t like it. 

!           You can use TFTP, FTP, SCP and some more stuffs. 

  path tftp:///Subdirectory/$h-

!           The next two lines means that this command will run when someone saves the configuration and/or at a certain time, like 24 hours or weekly. 

  time-period

  write-memory

end
