# Dump Memory Allocation Settings

Store the currently configured memory allocation settings for all persistent memory modules in the system to a file in order to replicate the configuration elsewhere. Apply the stored memory allocation settings using the command [Load Memory Allocation Goal](/ipmctl-user-guide/v1.x/provisioning/load-memory-allocation-goal.md)

```
$ ipmctl dump [OPTIONS] -destination (path) -system -config
```

## **Example**

```
$ ipmctl dump -destination config.txt -system -config
```

## **Limitations**

Only memory allocation settings for manageable persistent memory modules that have been successfully applied by the BIOS are stored in the file. Unconfigured modules are not included, nor are memory allocation goals that have not been applied.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pmem.io/ipmctl-user-guide/v1.x/provisioning/dump-memory-allocation-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
