DescriptionName
The protocol to use when communicating with the remote server. This
can be one of the following:
• FTP
• TFTP
• SCP
• SFTP
Protocol field
The hostname or IP address of the location where the backup file is
stored. This can be a server, storage array, local drive, or any read/write
media that the fabric interconnect can access through the network.
If you use a hostname rather than an IP address, you must
configure a DNS server in Cisco UCS Manager.
Note
Hostname field
The full path to the backup configuration file. This field can contain the
filename as well as the path. If you omit the filename, the backup
procedure assigns a name to the file.
Remote File field
The username the system should use to log in to the remote server. This
field does not apply if the protocol is TFTP.
User field
The password for the remote server username. This field does not apply
if the protocol is TFTP.
Cisco UCS Manager does not store this password. Therefore, you do
not need to enter this password unless you intend to enable and run the
backup operation immediately.
Password field

Step 8
If Cisco UCS Manager displays a confirmation dialog box, click OK.
If you set the Admin State field to enabled, Cisco UCS Manager takes a snapshot of the configuration type
that you selected and exports the file to the network location. The backup operation displays in the Backup
Operations table in the Backup Configuration dialog box.

(Optional) To view the progress of the backup operation, do the following:
a) If the operation does not display in the Properties area, click the operation in the Backup Operations
table.
b) In the Properties area, click the down arrows on the FSM Details bar.
The FSM Details area expands and displays the operation status.
Step 10
Click OK to close the Backup Configuration dialog box.
The backup operation continues to run until it is completed. To view the progress, re-open the Backup
Configuration dialog box.
