XS728T - Archive/Config file upload: How to find file path for USB drive connected to front panel?

XS728T ProSAFE 28-Port 10-Gigabit L2+ Smart Switch

Software Version: 6.5.1.30
Boot Version: 1.0.0.0

 

Our XS728T is being replaced under warranty. I want to export the Archive/Text config files, so I don't have to rebuild all the LAGGS, etc on it with the new switch. 

I have plugged a USB drive into the front panel. But, have no idea how to find out what the file path is to use in the Maintenance>USB File Upload>File Path field

I'm sure this is simple, just have no idea. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

    Hi Victor-R,

     

    As per page 336 of the XS728T user manual here, in #7 under the section "Upload a File From the Switch to a USB Device," it says to leave the File Path field blank to save the file to the root USB directory.  Kindly try to leave the File Path field blank and on the USB File field, be sure to enter a name.  

     

     

    Regards,
