Device configuration backup

hi all
if you have many network devices like 1000 in your network !!
is there a solution where you backup the configuration of each device regularly !? and store them in specific folder !?
I am looking for such a robust solution whether from cisco or third party provider !
thanks,

Hi,
If you have a monitoring system, they usually have a module for backing up configs from all devices.
I know SolarWinds has this capability.

Configure backup device in SAP(DB13)

I have installed the ECC 6.0 with SQLServer 2005 ,now I want to
configure the backup device in it. I am using external hdd for backup.
Please suggest me how to configure backup device in SAP(DB13) and
database level.
where I have to set the parameters for backup device.
Thanks

Hi..
You need to configure initSID.sap inside Kernel.
Choose backup device type to disk
backup_dev_type = disk
and change backup root directory
backup_root_dir = < Your_External_HDD_adress>
e.g. G:/backup/
Hope it should work....

How to configure backup device

Hii,
I have fresh install 4.7 with sql 2000 database . I want to take backup of my database in other drive . how i will configure this drive .
thanks & regards
jagdish

hi,
you want to take backup using DB13 or from SQL server enterprise manager,
if you want to take backup on network drive the drive must be map and accessible through windows.
configure backup devices on MS SQL Server management Studio,
logon to SQL server management Studio,
under object explorer navigate through server object -> backup devices
create new backup device -- destination file type. give path for your network drive backup folder.

Cisco Prime Infra 2.2 + Third Party Inventory and configuration backup

Hi All,
I am having a doubt related to Cisco prime solution capability to do a discovery and config backup for non-cisco devices.
Requirement is to use Cisco prime to do a discovery, inventory and take configuration backup for non-cisco devices. Is it something possible out of the box ?
If not possible out of the box, is there any method to do that using any custom API ?
Can we monitor 3rd party( Non-cisco) devices using Cisco Prime 2.2 ?

Hi,
Below is supported-device list, check if your device is listed there.

CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;

CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
above cmd only working on "sbt" type device or it is working also "disk".
plz. let me know. sir.
thanx in advance.

From the docs:
Requirements for Backup Optimization
Backup optimization is used when the following conditions are true:
The CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON command has been run to enable backup optimization.
You run BACKUP DATABASE, BACKUP ARCHIVELOG with ALL or LIKE options, or BACKUP BACKUPSET ALL.
Only one type of channel is allocated, that is, you do not mix channels of type DISK and sbt in the same backup command.

Cisco prime configuration backup

Hi There,
In Cisco prime infrastructure there are two places that I can do backup of the WLCs.
1. Operate -> Configuration Archive & run schedule archive
2. Administration -> background Task -> Controller Configuration Backup
Can someone tell me what's the different between these two? What would be the issue if I have enable only option 1 not 2? If I want to get the running configuration of the controller to my PC How I would be able to do that?
Thx
Sara

An Intelligent Network Management Application doesn't have to depend on most basic tasks for user input.
It should be smart enough to start managing devices for configurations, inventory and Fault Management out of the box, as soon as the devices are added.
Under Mega-Menu like --> Design, Deploy and Operate their are many tasks which are user deployed and as per the network preferences and requirement.
Under Background Tasks we have System Defined Tasks to start many such device management activities by default.
Also, under Background task, you can configure an external TFTP/FTP server to archive the backup of the controllers configuration.

User privilege level for configuration backup with PI 1.2

We have more than 50 devices handling by PI 1.2 (testing) I like to know how to do configuration archiving with user who doesn't have write privilege.
I tried like this.
username john privilege 6 password cisco
privilege exec level 6 show running-config
(result) show run --> blank
I tried this user with one of switch in PI 1.2. It did not do configuration backup
username inout password inout
username inout privilege 15 autocommand show running-config
(result) once logged in, it automatically showed running-config. However when I tried with PI 1.2 with this user (inout). I couldn't do configuration back.
reference
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk59/technologies_tech_note09186a00800949d5.shtml
so, my question is this. what is the solution for me to create certain user with read-only privilege while PI 1.2 is able to do configuration archiving ?
thanks in advance

7.4 MSE code will in fact require an update of Prime 1.2 to 1.3.0.20-
It's pretty easy though and your licenses will still work from the Prime Infra side.
Here's a link to upgrade PI to 1.3
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/1.3/release/notes/cpi_rn_13.html#wp73605
I personally would go ahead with the upgrade of both:::

Bulk configuration backup and command output using script (perl or batch)

Hi,
Can you please guide me how to run a script to get configuration backup, and/or running a particular command on multiple devices in one go and then get the output in a text file?
It would be very nice, if you could give me a sample (containing the perl/batch configuration, and the step by step on how) to get output of "show version" from multiple (only IOS based) devices....
regards,
Mohsin

I think this site can get you started. It has the scripts that can do what you want

Backup aborted - Configuration Backup Failes

Over the past couple of days, I've started getting the Error "Backup aborted - Configuration backup failed" on 3560/2960 switches and 2900/2800 routers. Pretty much everything at my primary site and a few devices, but not all, at some of my clients. What's odd to me is that the devices with the backup failures now have a greyed out "Backup Now" button. Again that doesn't apply to all, but most devices.

Hi Shawn,
We saw this same behavior this morning with a test ON100 in the lab. The ON100 may need to run through it's normal scheduled nightly maintenance window before the driver tries the backup and then subseqeuntly enables the Backup Now button within the portal. Please take a look at this customer again on Monday and let us know if the backup succeeded, and if the Backup Now button becomes available again. We are looking into what it will take to issue a fix, as a contingency plan, or until a fix can be deployed, we are looking into controlled periodic monthly reboots of all ON100 which might mitigate issue by clearing the /tmp ramdisk on the devices.

If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, and it's not already backed up, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

Configuration backup of Nexus 7706 VDCs using Cisco Prime 2.1

Hi all,
Cisco Nexus 7706 with multiple VDCs is not supported on Cisco Prime 2.1 but can be added to monitor the reachability. Is there a way to collect atleast the configuration backup of the VDCs through Cisco Prime 2.1?
Regards, Sohail

The Bulk update option has been started with PI 2.0.
You can either streamline or change the information on the devices, or if you have another set of credentials for a different subnet, you could add that to the CLI section of the discovery profile and rerun the discovery. If you have a handful of changes, you can click the devices with a status of Managed with Warning and then click the Edit button to modify the credentials.
With Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0, there is now an ability to export devices with credentials directly from the GUI. Navigate to Operate > Device Work Center and you should be able to see the “Export Device” button as shown in following figure:
At that point in time, you can export the device credentials, change them using a spreadsheet application, and import them back.
TIP: If you need to change the credentials for devices in bulk, this method can be used to do that.
Importing Devices Manually
If you maintain a spreadsheet that has all the devices and would rather get started with that, you do have this option in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0. If you to go Operate > Device Work Center > Bulk Import, you get an import pop-up as shown in the figure below:
The configuration is stored in the oracle DB in various table and indexes. Unfortunately, it doesnt allows to see that configuration from the server directory. But you can manage and view from CPI GUI.

My iPhone 5S is using 2.5GBs of storage for the camera roll. I deleted all but 190 photos and this did not change. My other devices cannot backup to iCloud due to the volume on my iPhone. Any ideas?

Try turning off the Camera Roll option in Settings>iCloud>Backup & Storage>Manage Storage>Your device. Then turn it back on again.
