Cisco ACS 5.x appliance
How to back up Config
What is best way, via TFTP?
COPY Startup-config tftp:?
COPY Running-config tftp:?
I currently use Solarwinds CatTolls to back my Cisco Switches,
can I use this for Cisco ACS also?
Thanks

With ACS 5.x the ACS application configuration can not be taken by copying the start-config file!!
You need to backup the configuration using the command:
acs backup
The repository should be created before taking the backup. use those command:
config t
repository
url <>>
(the following command is used only for repositories that requires auth. it is not needed for tftp for example because ftp is not using authentication to transfer the file):

Hi Amjad,
Extremely helpful. Greatly appreciated.
I did everything as instructed from CLI, then hit "enter", I used TFTP.
And started to MILDLY Panic, because it was taking quite a while before I got my cursor back.
But your link, It is also backup under, system admin/operations/scheduled backups also.
I just wanted to see if I could do it manually.
And it worked, Thanks

Amjad,
BTW, it said those commands you sent were for 5.3 & 5.4.
I'm running 5.1.0.44 and it worked also.
Thnx again
