configuration

files

from

of

multiple
ACEs
to

a

remote

Configuration

dependencies

are

those

files

that

are

required

to

exist

on

the

ACE
so
that

a

configuration

can

be

applied

to

it.

Such

files

include

health-monitoring

scripts,

SSL

certificates,
SSL
keys,

and

so

the

following

configuration

files

and
dependencies:

•
License
files

•
Running-configuration
files

•
Startup-configuration
files

•
Checkpoints

•
SSL
files

(SSL

•
Health-monitoring
scr

ipts
During
the

backup,

each

ACE

saves

its

configuration

files

locally

to

disk0:

in

a

single

directory

that

is
tarred
and

GZIPed.
