Hi,
Can any tell me where the checkpoint files are kept on a Nexus 7000.
Also
, I noticted on the Rollback , you can use a checkpoint instance or a
file. Does this mean you can rollback to the startup-config , if you
haven't created any checkpoints beforehand.

Hi,

The rollback feature allows you to take a snapshot, or checkpoint, of the Cisco NX-OS configuration and then reapply that configuration to your device at any point without having to reload the device. Rollback allows any authorized administrator to apply this checkpoint configuration without requiring expert knowledge of the features configured in the checkpoint.

Hope to Help !!
