Is there an example available that allows me to backup the system configuration of the A10 using ACOS 4 via aXapi?

Hi Arno,

```auto
So here’s an example on how to pull a back on a system config of an A10 device via aXAPI 3.0 (Release 4.x).

acos-device-ip/axapi/v3/backup/system

```

With this command it backups the following data:  
configs, aFlex, bw-list, class lists  
certs, keys, crls

If you search our aXAPI 3.0 docs under “backup system” it will give the system specs of the API call. I hope this answers your question.
