Hello,
I have a pair of ASA 5515-X's, and I'm trying to automate the backup command using EEM.
event manager applet backup
description Backup the VPN config daily
event timer absolute time 01:00:00
action 0 cli command "copy /noconfirm running-config tftp://192.168.10.131"
output file new
The command listed there works fine when I run it manually.
I can see the event fire as expected at 1AM, but the compression process fails for some reason:
vpn1(config-applet)# more disk0:/eem-backup-20180228-140900.log
Reason for log file generation:
absolute timer expired
------------------ backup /noconfirm location tftp://192.168.10.131 @ 2018/02/28 14:09:00 ------------------

This device is currently running 9.3.3; I have another identically configured device running 9.9.1, and it fails as well, although, the error message is slightly different:
vpn1(config-applet)# more disk0:/eem-backup-20180228-150100.log
Reason for log file generation:
absolute timer expired
------------------ backup /noconfirm location tftp://66.207.221.131 @ 2018/02/28 15:01:00 ------------------

Does anybody have any idea why EEM process might have a problem with compressing the content, or why this issue might be happening?
Thanks!
Mike
