They are saved in the node's mroot under etc/backups, but you don't actually need to know that. They can be uploaded or downloaded from the cluster shell cli, or configured to be uploaded automatically.
Use the upload command to upload an individual backup to an ftp server from the cluster:
Cluster1::system configuration backup*> upload -node Cluster1-01 -backup Cluster1.daily.2016-11-20.00_10_00.7z -destination ftp://192.168.0.10/backups
Enter the username: ftpuser
Enter the password:
Uploading the configuration backup file.
Or you can setup routine backups to go to an ftp server :
Cluster1::system configuration backup*> modify -?
(system configuration backup settings modify)
[[-destination] <text>] *Backup Destination URL
[ -username <text> ] *Username for Destination
[ -numbackups1 {1..4} ] *Number of Backups to Keep for Schedule 1
[ -numbackups2 {1..4} ] *Number of Backups to Keep for Schedule 2
[ -numbackups3 {1..4} ] *Number of Backups to Keep for Schedule 3
Cluster1::*> system configuration backup settings modify -destination ftp://www.example.com/config/uploads/ -username admin
In single node cluster it is important to configre backups, since there is only one node. In a multi-node cluster each node has a copy of the backups, but you still have the ability to configure them to go to an ftp server.
