ISE backup not working while using tftp

[Kashish_Patel]

I have configured a repository on ISE admin node to use tftp for taking backups.

repository master

  url tftp://<IP>

!

I initiate backup on demand to use the defined repository and specify Application-only backup. After sometime, I see success on ISE node and "show backup history" also shows success

ise/admin#    sh backup history

Thu Sep 27 06:12:43 UTC 2012: backup backup1-120927-060253.tar.gpg to repository master: success

Thu Sep 27 07:31:56 UTC 2012: backup backup1-120927-072227.tar.gpg to repository master: success

However, when I check on tftp server, I see nothing. No files with names backup1-120927-060253.tar.gpg or backup1-120927-072227.tar.gpg...Has anybody else seen similar issue? Is there a bug with tftp server backup on ISE nodes?

Thanks,

Kashish

Kashish,

Can you try moving a small file over to the tftp server? Check the directory of the local disk and issue a a copy disk:/file tftp:/path.

See if that moves a file over. I havent personally used tftp I always use ftp.

Hi Tarik,

I am able to successfully move files to tftp server from Cisco switch/router, but not from ISE. ISE shows transfer as success, just that I am not able to see the transferred file in the tftp folder. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Kashish

tftp never worked for us. So we switched to sftp for now, it works gr8!

You can try below command i have tested it will work

copy  disk:/Backup_name tftp://Tftp_Server_Ip/

make sure you use  double forward slash (//) againt tftp
