ASA Backup Using EEM and SCP

[TW80CJ5]

Hello,

I am trying to configure my ASA to use EEM and the "Backup" function to automatically backup to my SCP Server

I think my syntax is off somewhere because I am getting odd file names. I can successfully backup to the SCP Server but it names the files as 192.168.1.2-ASAFWL-01.10-24-2019 03-15-06 (or some other time stamp variation)

Here is what I have:

event manager applet ASA_SCP_BACKUP, hits 4, last 2019/10/24 14:19:55
last file none
event watchdog 30 secs, left 0 secs, hits 4, last 2019/10/24 14:19:55
action 0 cli command "Backup /noconfirm location scp://cisco:cisco@192.168.1.10//ASA_Backups/192.168.1.2-ASAFWL-01", hits 4, last 2019/10/24 14:19:55

Here is what I would like:

I would like to be able to use the Backup CLI command in EEM and have the .tar.gz file that it creates automatically uploaded to the SCP Server. What am I missing?

You need to backup locally with tar.gz file, then scp to remote site

below document help you to create one tar.gz file

command "$_info_routername-config_$_event_pub_sec"  <<- this is for your time stamp and file name
