Using "" in the value field

Hi,

I'm trying to backup the config of a device. In order to do a TFTP backup i need to type the following command:

set uploadcfg="filename"

The software doesn't seem to accept the following command:

The problem is with the quotes around my filename. When I try to download the config it says "Unable to locate or error loading device template: C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Configuration Management\DeviceTypes\Transition Network Card. Device IP: 10.247.86.8"

Is there a work-around to allow quotes inside a Command Name line?

Ok, it doesn't look like this is possible today given the validation restrictions in our device templates. Please open a support ticket and include a reference to this post.

The workaround would be to use an Execute Script job to backup via TFTP.

Can you try inserting \ before each quote to see if that helps?

None of them works.

Any suggestions?

Would this workaround allow me to store the results of the TFTP transfer in the database juste like the other backups done with the command template?

Unfortunately, no it wouldn't. We're exploring ways of allowing scheduled import of configs into the database from the file system, but this isn't something that's possible today.
