Information About Image Refresh
The Cisco IOS XR software and configuration files available on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation
Services Routers can be backed up and restored using the Archive and Restore feature. This Archive and
Restore feature is built into the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers Micro Image. A Micro Image is a factory
supplied service image that is locally resident on all Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers RSP cards. A Micro
Image allows administrators to perform these service tasks:

• Archive content from the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers
• Restore content to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers
• Review any prior failure logs
