Hi Expert,

I tried to backup ACS 5.1 but i found error messages as below

% Repository not found

% Error: Invalid repository name 25Nov11Respository

Please use a configured respository.

If you have the repository configured on the ACS than make sure you are typing it right.

Could you please post the output of sh run in your next reply.

Regards,

Jatin

Hi...I had a similar issue and found this discussion whilst trying to find the solution.  I managed to resolve the issue by creating a repository using the following: -

conf t
repository
url ftp://<ip-address>/<direcory-name>
user <username> password plain <password>

For example from the above I have an FTP server on address 10.10.10.1 and have created a directory called acs2 within it.  The username is backup and the password is getmein... hence the following configuration was added: -

conf t
repository backupserver
url ftp://10.10.10.1/acs2
user backup password plain getmein

Once this was configured I was able to enter the following command: -

backup acs2-backup-08022012 repository backupserver

With the following response being output from the terminal: -

% Creating backup with timestamped filename: acs2-backup-08022012-120208-1220.tar.gpg

Then checking the contents of my ftp server I could then see the backup file created within /home/backup/acs2.

Just thought I would share this information incase anyone else needs it :-)
