Vrpdownloadconfig Full ❲iOS RELIABLE❳
When you run a vrpdownloadconfig full operation, watch out for these issues:
Check that the downloaded file contains the full configuration (not just a partial). vrpdownloadconfig full

| Backup Type | Command Equivalent | Captured Data | Risk |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Partial | display cur | Active, volatile config (changes since last save) | If device reboots, unsaved changes are lost. |
| Standard Saved | display saved | Configuration that will load on next reboot. | Does not include FTP/TFTP local usernames or enabled features not yet saved. |
| Full (vrpdownloadconfig full) | Combined + FTP/Patch fetch | Active + Saved + License info + Patch status + Local user DB. | Minimal risk; complete restore possible. | The device will connect to the TFTP server,
The "full" variant ensures that if your device suffers a catastrophic failure (dead flash memory), you can rebuild it from the backup exactly as it was—including temporary debugging settings and unsaved test ACLs.
Now run the full command with your server details:
vrpdownloadconfig full tftp 192.168.1.100 full_config_backup.cfg
The device will connect to the TFTP server, download the file, and begin verifying it.
