Hi Dinesh,

For ISE, to perform a backup including Cisco ISE and Cisco ADE OS data and place the backup in a repository, use the backup command in EXEC mode.

Before attempting to use the backup command in EXEC mode, you must copy the running configuration to a safe  location, such as a network server, or save it as the Cisco ISE server  startup configuration. You can use this startup configuration when you  restore or troubleshoot Cisco ISE from the backup and system logs.

backup [{backup-name} repository {repository-name} ise-config encryption-key hash | plain {encryption-key name}]

backup [{backup-name} repository {repository-name} ise-operational encryption-key hash | plain {encryption-key name}]

Syntax Description

backup-name	Name of backup file. Supports up to 100 alphanumeric   characters.
repository	Specifies repository to store the back up file.
repository-name	Location where the files should be backed up to. Supports   up to 80 alphanumeric characters.
