1) I've also searched for information how to get access to the LINUX shell but no success till now so I'm not sure whether it's possible.

2) on the NCS configure a new repository = informations about the remote PC.

i.e. if you upload via FTP it looks like...

ncs/admin# configure termainal

ncs/admin(config)# repository myrepository

ncs/admin(config-Repository)# url ftp://10.10.10.10/

ncs/admin(config-Repository)# user ron password plain ron

ncs/admin(config-Repository)# exit

Then on the NCS GUI go to >Adminstration>Background Tasks>

click on NCS Server Backup to configure the following parameters...

- set the checkmark on enabled

- in the backup repository pull down menu choose the one that we've created before

- set a interval and a time

The result is that every interval/time the NCS will do a backup to the server that

you've set in the repository.

Kind regards,

Ron

more infos about the CLI parameters of the repository command...

HI Ron,

You are right.

Still i am also not scuccessful with question1:

BUt i got 50% success with step2,

while i was doing with NFS and error was: % Error mounting NFS location

with TFTP:after 90% backup its shows  Season was timeout

Now am trying with FTP: lets see wt happens,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hey,

I've done it yesterday at a customer site also the first time in my life and we run into the same issue with TFTP.

That is why we've used FTP and it worked without further issues and the whole >1GB file was uploaded to the server.

Not sure why TFTP isn't working that great.
