1 - Summary
This guide will show how to restore a configuration from backups in different
Cisco devices.
2 - Cisco ASA 5505 firewalls
Restore a configuration from backups from a TFTP server. In this example, the
firewall is running version 8.2(5) and ASDM version 6.4(5).

3 - Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches
We will be utilizing restoring backups via TFTP so we will need to SSH into the
server running TFTP. In this example, we will get the configuration file from
backups and put it in the directory path used by the TFTP server. SSH into the
server running TFTP. Find the backup and decrypt it. After that move it to the
directory path used by the TFTP server.
# cat switch_config.gpg.sha256
SHA256 (switch_config.gpg) = b6ed5c20f16b76ef6114f86e09c74e5196cf00424fc46202bb8d5514705c1f51
# sha256 switch_config.gpg
SHA256 (switch_config.gpg) = b6ed5c20f16b76ef6114f86e09c74e5196cf00424fc46202bb8d5514705c1f51
# gpg2 --batch --passphrase $password --output switch_config --decrypt switch_config.gpg
# mv switch_config /tftp/
Log into the switch via SSH. Get into enable mode and run the following to
restore a configuration from backups from a TFTP server.
