[j-nsp] How to take Backup of Configuration file using FTP

[Jared Gull]

Hello,

Is this a one time thing or are you trying to get it
to automate regular backups?  If this is a one time
effort, simply make use of the operational mode ftp
client to copy the current configuration file over as
shown below:

lab at HongKong> file list /config

/config:
juniper.conf.1.gz
juniper.conf.2.gz
juniper.conf.3.gz
juniper.conf.gz

lab at HongKong> ftp 10.210.8.2
Connected to 10.210.8.2.
220 Tokyo FTP server (Version 6.00LS) ready.
Name (10.210.8.2:lab): lab
331 Password required for lab.
Password:
230 User lab logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> bin

ftp> lcd /config
Local directory now /config
ftp> cd /var/tmp
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> put juniper.conf.gz
local: juniper.conf.gz remote: juniper.conf.gz
200 PORT command successful.

OR, if your trying to perform regular backups you will
want to configure configuration archival:

lab at HongKong> configure
Entering configuration mode

[edit]
lab at HongKong# edit system archival

[edit system archival]
lab at HongKong# set ?
Possible completions:
+ apply-groups         Groups from which to inherit
configuration data
+ apply-groups-except  Don't inherit configuration
data from these groups
> configuration        Automatic configuration uploads
to host(s)
[edit system archival]
lab at HongKong# set configuration ?
Possible completions:
+ apply-groups         Groups from which to inherit
configuration data
+ apply-groups-except  Don't inherit configuration
data from these groups
> archive-sites
  transfer-interval    Frequency at which file
transfer happens (minutes)
  transfer-on-commit   Transfer after each commit
[edit system archival]
lab at HongKong# set configuration

HTHs..
