Periodic backups of a FPR2110 ASA using Event Manager

[FinnE68]

I am looking for a solution to back up the running-config to a management server using Event Manager. Those I have found use copy-command and tftp. But I would really would like a solution that utilizes the rotate function in the event manager that you have in the 'output file rotate'-command.

With this in place you can easily set up a weekly backup with where you keep x number of total backups. No filling up disks or renaming of filenames.

Hope this device managed by FMC, why not manage backup using FMC ? (just thought ?)

Hi Balaji,

We only have one single Cisco unit (other network equipment handled through another mgmt application) and all I need is the backup (we use ASDM/cli for config etc), I know it can be done using copy and tftp, but I kind of hoped that it was possible to utilize the nice and clean functionality in EM even though I have not seen any solutions describing it. Maybe a combination of 'Ouput file' command and a 'copy..tftp' will work?  

My experience with Cisco is limited I should add.

simple EEM

event manager applet my-backup
event timer absolute time 00:01:10   <- change the time as per the requirement
action 0 cli command "copy /noconfirm running-config tftp://x.x.x.x/myasa-cfg.cfg"
output none

other option based on the config change :

event manager applet backup-asa
 description Backup ASA upon saving config
 event syslog id 111004
 action 0 cli command "backup /noconfirm location tftp://x.x.x.x/configs/"
 output none
