All you need to do is copy that vlan.dat (not clear text) along with your

I guess this only works fine if you restore on the same hardware after a failure, but you could very well have a cisco 2924 in use and a cisco 3524 in stock.
In that case the backuped copy can easily be used to configure the 35xx after a failure but the problem is that I am not sure that the 35xx would accept the vlan.dat file from a 29xx.
As well as the file is coded, you can not re-add the vlan manually neither.

This is how CiscoWorks does a full backup.

Thanks for the info,

Thanks...Also, "Vlan Database" is in the process of being deprecated
anyways.

Any link about the replacement command ?

I will try to find if there is a OID for the vlan definition.
