Auto-backup Nexus 7000

[vane]

Hello,

How can I configure an automatic backup on a nexus 7000? I read something about the "Scheduler" command but I don't understand how it works.

Thanks

Hello,

you could use an EEM script to automate the backup. Below is an example where you running configuration would be backed up to a TFTP server each day at midnight:

NX7000(config)#event manager applet CONFIG_BACKUP_TFTP
NX7000(config-applet)#description "Backup-Running-Config-To-TFTP"
NX7000(config-applet)#event timer cron con-entry "0 0 * * *" maxrun 9999999
NX7000(config-applet)#action 1.0 cli command "enable"
NX7000(config-applet)#action 2.0 cli command "copy running-config tftp://192.168.1.1/archive/NX7000/$(SWITCHNAME)_$(TIMESTAMP).UTC vrf management"
NX7000(config-applet)#action 3.0 cli command "end"

Thanks for your answer. I tried to do as is, but on my ftp server the 7k backups still don't appear.

Would there be any way to backup from Cisco Prime?

Correct the scheduler can pefrom a daliy/weekly/monthly backup  if you wish that could save to the flash of the switch or/then export it to a tftp server if applicable. - Here

Thanks fot your answer.

When I execute the show schedule logfile command, it appears that the copy was made, however on my ftp server the backup copy does not appear.
