Hi Wilson,

Can u share the snapshot of error message which appears ?

HAve u followed the below steps  while taking backup:

a. Login CPA with admin through putty using port 26

b. Create a Repository where the backup would be stored. You can keep name as BACKUP

c. then, u need to enter url sftp://IP address of machine where sftp is running/

d. user test password hash test .Same credentials need to be configured in sftp software.

e. backup backupfilename[PRIME]  repository BACKUP application cpcm

the backup filename would be created  as PRIME-YEARMONTHDATE-TIME.tar.gpg

I have taken backup using freeftpd software.

Hi Aman,

I spoken my co-worker and He told me that the backup model used is Web not CLI. We used the restart service cpcm, but, didn´t worked.

Thank You,

Hi Wilson,

I checked the  guide  but did not find any option of backup taking through GUI.

Hi Aman,

We deleted the connection and created again, but, the error message changed. Now the message stay "In Progress" and not change status

I am attaching the print

Thanks a lot,

Hi Wilson,

I think GUI option got introduced in Prime Assurance 9.5

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/collaboration/9-5/administration/guide/Cisco_Prime_Collaboration_Administration_Guide_9_5/backupandrestore.html

from CLI can u check status

admin# show backup history.

You can also try taking backup from CLI

the above commands remain same and

admin# backup cmbackup repository BACKUP application cpcm

Hope this helps.

regds,

Hi Wilson,

This means through CLI, backup is successful but fails through GUI.

Hi Aman,

I am doing the tests. The first test that I did was changed the browser. I tried to do the test with my Google Chrome 33.0.1750.117 and when I tried to do the test appear the message error:

There was an error while parsing and rendering the content. (Object #has no method 'getAttribute')

Error code WAP00008.

I am trying to do another test. I will inform to You by results.
