backup the cisco switch config.

[petercinvest]

in running configuration, I try to config as below:

archive

 path ftp://10.80.*.*/korea/Dmz/$h-$t

 write-memory

ip ftp username backup1

ip ftp password 7  **********

do I need to add other commands, I would like to backup running config every week at Friday 10:00 PM, can anyone help for additional commands, thanks

Hi,

The archive feature does not allow you to specify a precise time to back up the configuration. You can only specify a time period in minutes for regular configuration backups. Your momentary configuration creates a backup only when the configuration is locally stored using either write memory or copy running-config startup-config commands. If you want your configuration to be saved in regular intervals automatically, you need to add the time-period minutes command to your archive configuration.

Would this solution be sufficient for you? If not, there is perhaps an option of setting up a tool called Kron to do these backups periodically outside the archive feature.

Best regards,
Peter
