Hello,
I am looking for a template to backup my cisco APIC M2 devices as the default one's are not working.
Strangely i cant find much about it on thwack as well. Any help ?
Regards

I assume here that you are trying to back up your APICs using NCM. I don't think that is going to work too well for an APIC cluster. NCM uses SSH to log in and do a 'Show Run' then downloads the resulting file. APIC Clusters have their own backup mechanism (https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/solutions/collateral/data-center-virtualization/application-centric-infrastructure/aci-guide-creating-backup-for-apic-cluster.pdf) which invloves sending the config files to another server via SFTP or SCP.
Apologies if I am misunderstanding you here, but my feeling is that you are using the wrong tool for the job.
Cheers,
Felix
Hey Felix,
I was able to download the running config of APIC using below template
Cisco APIC-1.3.6.1.4.1.9.12.3.1.3
Initially I thought it didn't work but may be delay was due to size of config. So yeah NCM can backup APICs , now i need to figure out the startup config backup
Cheers
Oh Wow OK. I did not realise downloading the config outside of SFTP or SCP was possible.
Always a good day when I learn something new. Thanks for letting me know.
