Core issue
The Cisco Secure ACS for Windows command-line utility "CSUtil.exe" can be used to create a system backup of all ACS internal data. The resulting backup file has the same data as the backup files produced by the ACS backup feature found in the HTML interface.
The backup file can only be restored on an ACS server running the same ACS version and build.
Resolution
To address this issue, refer to the Performing a Manual Cisco Secure ACS Backup section of Establishing Cisco Secure ACS System Configuration.
For more information on backing up the database using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) (including scheduling automatic backups), refer to the Cisco Secure ACS Backup section of the document.
For a dump of users and groups issue this command:
$BASE\utils\csutil -d
For a backup of users, groups, and registry settings, issue this command:
$BASE\utils\csutil -b
For more information on backing up the ACS database using the Command Line Interface (CLI), refer to the Backing Up Cisco Secure ACS with CSUtil.exe section of Cisco Secure ACS Command-Line Database Utility.
