    Hello guys,

     

    Can someone please explain to me the difference between 'request system snapshot slice alternate' and 'request system snapshot media internal'?

     

    I usually use the 'request system snapshot media internal' command to copy Junos from primary to back up or the other way around. 

     

    Thanks

    Basically, the version of the command used is based on what storage type is in your device.

    Hi Karan,

     

    Thanks for the prompt response. I believe the above applies to SRX and EX series devices?

     

    So if an EX series switch booted from the backup and if I need to copy the Backup Junos to Primary, all I need to do is issue "request system snapshot slice alternate" command.

     

    Thanks in advance 🙂

    Hi Suresh,

     

    This is JUNOS feature, applies to SRX/EX nodes as well and yes, your understanding is right.

    Hi,

    "request system snapshot slice alternate" commmand is used to copy the primary (acitve) to the backup not backup to the primary.

    Thanks

    I believe it will copy the backup to the primary if the device is currently booted from the backup.
