Josh,

I didn’t know about the $h variable. Very handy to save from typing in the hostname lol.

Cheers mate

Darren,

The trick was that I didn’t know you could use the $h and $t variables in the path command.

Very nice for staging templates.

[...] videos on brainbump.net last Friday and noticed a different take on a tutorial I did regarding automatic configuration backups with the ‘archive’ command. While watching the video, I learned a new trick. The file name in the ‘path’ [...]

To use the timestamps you have to append “$t” to your filename. However it puts the time format in the following:
Jul-28-05:10:23.794
Thus windows will not read this, all you will get is “23.794″ followed but -1 or whatever sequence number you are upto.

When I deployed this a month ago I was having great difficulty with the “time-period” command, it never worked
Here is how I managed to get scheduling working:

kron occurrence backup at 2:30 1 recurring
policy-list backup
!
kron policy-list backup
cli archive config

This backs up my config on the 1st of every month at 2:30am. You can also use the EEM (embedded event manager) to do something similar.

Hope this helps
