I don;t get the the background task "Controller Configuration Backup" working. I want to use default TFTP.
When i look in the logging i see 2 of three WLC's succesfully backuped there logging. Is their a log file where you can see what is happening?
With kind regards,
Martijn.

Hi Martijn:
If you go to the controller's GUI to Commands > Upload File and manually trigger the TFTP Configuration backup, does the process complete as expected? If not, whatever's causing that problem needs to be addressed first.
When someone wants to do a config backup from the command line, they give a series of commands
transfer download datatype config
transfer download mode tftp
transfer download serverip x.x.x.x
transfer download path ./
transfer download filename myBackup.cfg
transfer download start
The Controller Config Backup background task is just the SNMP version of "transfer download filename
As for watching this processing in logs, go to Administration > Logging, and set the logging level to Trace for the modules SNMP and System, and click Save. Then kick off your backup attempt, allowing it to fail. When it does, return to Administration > Logging, and click the Download button to retrieve the logs.zip file. The activity should be in the ncs-x-x.log file.
If you don't have the new Update-1 patch for Prime Infrastructure 1.3.0.20 (filename PI_1.3.0.20_Update_1-12.tar.gz) installed, I'd suggest you get it. While it's not going to specifically address this issue, there are a lot of really good fixes in it.
