I notice there is no IP-address in the FTP-url?

copy disk:/defaultRepo/<filename> ftp://111.222.333.444/reportsOnDemand

or is reportsOnDemand a DNS-entry that resolves to an ip-address?

you can also add the location as a new repository

repository RemoteRepo
  url ftp://111.222.333.444
  user RepoUser password hash aabbccddeeffgghhiijjkkllmmnn

then list the repository to check if you can access it.

show repository RemoteRepo

then copy a file

copy disk:/defaultRepo/<filename> repository RemoteRepo

at first i want copy backup file into internal disk of prime , and then see backup with software ''Winscp '' and copy it to my pc .
can i without ftp server , take backup ?

[pieterh]

you want a disk-to-disk copy?, that should be no problem

then you should not use ftp://... in the destination but also a disk+directory

and how can restore backup from cisco prime v3.3 to cisco prime version 3.5 ?

[pieterh]

I suggest you read the Prime Infrastructure 3.5 quick start guide.

in this document is descried how to make your backup and how to restore this.

You can also try to do an "in-line-upgrade" where you do not need to restore

(i would take the backup anyway,  if anything goes wrong, you can do a fresh installation and restore)

reed the section that starts with 

You can upgrade the following 3.1.x, 3.2.x, 3.3.x and 3.4.x Prime Infrastructure versions to Prime Infrastructure 3.5:

and check your running version is listed.
