Cisco prime configuration backup

[sara_alpha]

Hi There,

In Cisco prime infrastructure there are two places that I can do backup of the WLCs. 

1. Operate -> Configuration Archive & run schedule archive

2. Administration -> background Task -> Controller Configuration Backup

Can someone tell me what's the different between these two? What would be the issue if I have enable only option 1 not 2? If I want to get the running configuration of the controller to my PC How I would be able to do that?

Thx

Sara

An Intelligent Network Management Application doesn't have to depend on most basic tasks for user input.

It should be smart enough to start managing devices for configurations, inventory and Fault Management out of the box, as soon as the devices are added.

Under Mega-Menu like --> Design, Deploy and Operate their are many tasks which are user deployed and as per the network preferences and requirement.

Under Background Tasks we have System Defined Tasks to start many such device management activities by default.

Also, under Background task, you can configure an external TFTP/FTP server to archive the backup of the controllers configuration.

-Thanks
