Config backup may be outdated

[ericamanfu]

When I log into the UCS Manager, I see the following warning. "Config backup may be outdated" Code F1392. Do I need to set up a backup job of some sort? My online research is kind of leading me to that direction. When I go to Admin > All > General > Backup Operation, i don't see anything there.

Hi Eric,

This error message appears when you have not created a backup in quite some time. You need to generate a back-up file to clear this error message. You will need to generate the backup configuration to your local computer to clear this error message.

Page 4 gives in the link below gives you step by step instructions:

Also below is a screenshot from my environment regarding this issue

Admin Tab --> All --> Backup Configuration --> Create Backup Configuration

Then once you click another dialog box opens with where you can download the backup configuration. You can go ahead and do it to your local disk.

Hope this helps. If this solved your question please mark it as correct and rate it appropriately, This will help other people find correct answers.

Ok, looks like it worked. Once I did a backup, the warning went away.

Thanks again.

It’s clear that no Backup configuration was set so far, perhaps, only the reminder was set for every 30 days.

If you need a Backup, then please configure the same and set the reminder accordingly.

Or else

You can disable the reminder which is throwing false alerts. 

In either way, the alert should get disappear from the fault tab. Please discuss with your internal team and set it appropriately.
