Optionally encrypt backup content
For improved confidence and privacy, you can protect the back up configuration file with an encryption password. This password must match when restoring the back up configuration.
Example
execute backup config tftp config1.cfg 1.1.1.1
<Enter>|<passwd> Optional password to protect the backup content.
