Hi Guys,
I have a shared FTP server. I want to use that FTP server to automatically backup WLC config into a folder named WLC. Can Prime do this? Because when I add the FTP server only IP address is added and Prime saves it on the root folder. And then when I tried to add the path into the IP address on Prime, it says the naming for the server is not right.
Cheers.

- This should work, as I found from the doc-link below ; are you on sufficient recent version of Prime ?

Hi Marce,
Thanks for the reply. My Cisco PI version is 3.3. I believe it is quite recent.
Were you referring to the command below?
PIServer/admin(config)# repository repositoryName
PIServer/admin(config-Repository)# url ftp://RemoteServerIP/sharedfolder
PIServer/admin(config-Repository)# user userName password plain userPassword
PIServer/admin(config-Repository)# exit
PIServer/admin# backup MyBackupFileName repository MyRepo application NCS
After some digging, apparently the backup and repository command is to "Performs a backup (Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco ADE OS) and places the backup in a repository" on a certain repository, not for Controller Configuration Backup job under "Administration / Dashboards / Job Dashboard / System Jobs / Infrastructure".
I already configured an FTP server under "Administration / Servers / TFTP/FTP/SFTP Servers" and it did not show up when I issued "show repository" command.
