[cisco-voip] CCM Backup Path is: .

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

"." sign ifies "current directory" 
".." signifies "parent directory" 

so, my guess would be that the "." will refer to the default directory for that particular user. 

you might want to make sure that you use the correct slash, some want the backslash, some want the front slash.

Yup it's: . (as in a period) 

We rebuilt the server to which CCM sends its backup .tar files. We chose a different path on that new server for those files. In trying to edit the path in the backup config in CM, it would not accept the correct path we chose on the new server. It accepted only "." and a manual backup indeed put all the .tar files in the proper directory on the new server. I get that the SFTP host on the new server had our target folder set as its folder to use, but so did the previous SFTP host, and we DID specify the proper path in CM to our chosen folder. 

What's different? Why does the proper path not work in CM, and why does "." work? What does "." signify? 

Thanks 
jeff
