Embodiments of this application disclose a configuration management method, apparatus, and system, a storage medium, and a program product, and belong to the field of communication technologies. In embodiments of this application, backup configuration data generated by a server can be used for configuration rollback. In this way, an administrator can quickly restore the server to an expected state without performing a plurality of configuration operations. In addition, the backup configuration data corresponds to metadata, and the metadata includes baseline indication information and a backup identifier, where the baseline indication information indicates whether the corresponding backup configuration data is baseline configuration data. In this way, when configuration rollback is performed based on the metadata, in one case, it can be specified to roll back to the baseline configuration data. In addition, the metadata is structured data and has a unified view. The metadata can be used to perform flexible unified management on the backup configuration data, thereby reducing management difficulty.
