Level 1

Good day,

 

I have a Cisco router 1921 that doesn't save the config file to the flash like other routers. May you please help with resolving the issue or help with other ways to achieve this.

 

This is what I configured on all of the routers,

 

archive
path flash:mybackup
maximum 1
write-memory

 

Regards

Nelson

just found out to be a bug on only the 1921 Router ( your version does not show as a fixed version).

Try offloading to FTP or  TFTP or any other destination to see if that works.
