Hi,

kron doesn't support interactive command so you should replace

cli copy system:/running-config  tftp://192.168.0.209/Meeting_sw.txt

by

cli show running-config | redirect tftp://192.168.0.209/Meeting_sw.txt

Hi Faisal,

Can you please help me with the command to get output for multiple show commands in a single text file like show vlan brief, show interface trunk, show ip eigrp neighbor and so on. Thanks.

Another way to backup your config would be the archive-function. That would probably be the right tool for the job.

 Hi Everyone,

I created a piece of technical documentation that should help everyone out. I have automated daily backups for running-configs and startup-configs. Please let me know what you think.

That's really helpful. Thanks for sharing.

Quick question: Is there a way to add the timestamp in the .txt file name?

Yes, please.  Im trying to keep multiple versions of a config.  Date and time stamp would be great.  That way it doesnt over write the same file every time.  Ive tried using the $h-$t variables.  but that doesnt seem to do anything for Cisco IOS XE.

Thanks!
