Issues with tftp and running config backups.

[lostsurfer]

I just recently setup Solar Winds tftp and am using the following commands below to backup my running config to tftp. They do upload to the tftp but every day as a new config is written it's in a numbered seq. (ie-3900-switch backup 1, 3900-switch backup 2, 3900-switch backup 3, etc). I've checked all the settings on the tftp, and they all look correct. Is there something I'm missing??? I would like the daily backup to overwrite the previous one.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response, tried it and got, "Cannot set maximum when backing up to network path"

Hi,

as a workaround you coul use kron instead of the archive feature.

Here's an example

kron occurrence backup at 00:00 sun recurring

policy-list backup

!

kron policy-list backup

wr

show running-config | redirect tftp:///
