I had ACS 5.2 ( Evalution License ) setup installed on VMware with patch 11 when I try to restore earlier backup of ACS gives me error "Cannot find acsbackup_instance.log in the backup file"
I am using Filezilla FTP sever for backup transfer.
I have a Nas4Free (FreeBSD) server on location A and another Nas4Free server on location B.
I need to regulary access to location B's some folder from Windows machine at location A. What is the best scenario for this?
I think to rsync those folders/files every night to location A, but then I think what if in the future there are many other locations (C, D, E, F) that need to be rsynced to location A, that will make location A need a very large harddisk space that maybe not available in the market or limit
by the hardware/BIOS support.
If the hostnames are the same - can I restore the backup file from a wcs 5.2.148.0 instance on a different wcs instance running wcs 6.0.196.0?

I've been setting up building and testing our new ACS 5.x boxes and I've been running into a spot of bother with the backup restore feature. This most likely due to my unfamiliarity with the tool.
As part of my testing for Backup/Restore, I first backup the data using the Removal and backup tool in Secure ACS View (found under data management. I then confirm that the new FULL backup has been populated my test repository and is available in the restore feature. (also under Data Management) My next step is to create a few test Network Device Groups, Identity groups, and users Then I go back to the restore feature select the Back up file I just created, I also check the box Skip View Database backup before Restore and hit the restore button.
The box goes through the expected steps including a reload. When it comes back up I would expect the test users, groups etc I created after the last backup to be gone as they did not exist at that time. Although I find the opposite is true. Any settings I made after the last backup are still present. I do not have incremental backups enabled.
I essentially want to test a backup of the database of users and groups/rules etc make changes and then restore that database to the previous backed up configuration.
I have ACS 5.2 in standalone mode in operation and need not incorporating a second server for high availability ACS, the new ACS is a version 5.1
What should I do first, upgrade the ACS version 5.2 and created the high availability or high availability and get up after the upgrade?
Due to some wrong access policy applied in the administration control settings. GUI access is not functioning. So we need to take a backup thru CLI mode using FTP server. I have tried using the backup command in the console & taken the backup using the following steps. But the backup file is less than 1kb. I need the exact Db backup to be taken.
Step 1 Log in to the ACS SE. For more information, see Logging In to the Solution Engine from a Serial Console.Step 2 At the system prompt, enter backup and press Enter.Tip You can enter the following parameters after the command or in response to subsequent prompts: [server] [username] [filepath]Step 3 At the Enter FTP Server Hostname or IP Address: prompt, enter the FTP server IP address or hostname, and press Enter.Step 4 At the Enter FTP Server Directory: prompt, enter the FTP server directory pathname, and press Enter.Step 5 At the Enter FTP Server Username: prompt, enter the FTP server username and. press Enter.Step 6 At the Enter FTP Server Password: prompt, enter the FTP server password and, press Enter.Step 7 At the File: prompt, enter the name that you want to give the backup file, and press Enter.Step 8 At the Encrypt Backup file? <Y or N>: prompt, enter Y to encrypt the backup file or N not to encrypt it, and press Enter.Caution This procedure interrupts the use of the ACS SE for AAA services.Step 9 If you entered Y to encrypt the backup file, at the Encryption Password: prompt, enter a password and then press Enter.Result: The console displays:Backing up now . . .
All running services will be stopped and restarted automatically.Are you sure you want to proceed? <Y or N>Step 10 To proceed, enter Y and press Enter.

How can I automatically delete old files? I need to keep only the last seven files.
So I've decided to utilize 802.1x on a switch module on a 2901, reasons being for mobility for a laptop and network security.
However, the 802.1x authentication occurs over the VPN Tunnel (over the Internet). What our concern is, what happens if the Internet or Tunnel goes down? I know that 802.1x does not authenticate against the IOS local DB, so what would be another option in case this scenario happened?
There will only be one device authenticating (maybe 2) and they are 2 HP Windows 7 laptops.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to make a restore from the backup done on ACS version 5.1 to a new appliance running ACS5.2 Before doing it I found this note in Cisco ACS user guide:
Note: You cannot back up data from an earlier version of ACS and restore it to a later version. Backup and restore must be performed on the same version of ACS. If you need the data on a different version of the ACS, you can perform an upgrade after you restore the data. Refer to the Installation and Setup Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.1 for more information on upgrading ACS to later versions.
How should I understand it? This note has conflicting statements. We can't restore to a later version but if you need data on a different version of ACS you can perform an upgrade AFTER YOU RESTORE the data. Doesn't it mean that the restore will still work? How would I do the upgrade to version 5.2 or even version 5.3 that was announced to be released very soon? I didn't find anything on the software upgrade in ACS5.1 guide.
We have an issue with View db (Monitoring & Reports) backup on ACS, version 5.2.0.26. We have scheduled incremental backup daily and full backup monthly. Everything has been working well, but since yesterday following errors have appeared, and full and incremental backup stopped working:
Alarm Name
System Alarm [Incremental Backup]
Cause/Trigger
On-demand Full Backup failed
Alarm Details
CARS_BR_BACKUP_CREATE : -405 : Internal error: couldn't create backup file
Alarm Name
[code]....
We use same repository as always. Backup to the same repository works from CLI.
After ACS upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3 we have noticed that backup files are significantly smaller in size. For example before the upgrade they were:
285633099 2011-10-23 22:01 Meduza-ACS-111023-2200.tar.gpg
285809254 2011-10-24 22:01 Meduza-ACS-111024-2200.tar.gpg
And after upgrade:
124234429 2011-10-25 22:00 Meduza-ACS-111025-2200.tar.gpg
124234425 2011-10-26 22:00 Meduza-ACS-111026-2200.tar.gpg
What could cause this behavior? How we can be sure if backup files have been regular after the upgrade?
I am running windows based acs 3.3 in my lan environment going to be replaced with acs 1120 appliance running acs 4.2.1.15 , ACS 3.3 database has been built upto 4.2.0.124 ,step by step by upgrade process
1) acs 3.3.3.14---> 4.1.1.24
2) acs 4.1.1.24 ----> 4.2.0.124 .
now my database is with 4.2.0.124 dmp file , I cannot upgrade my database to 4.2.1.15 because 4.2.1.15 patch is not applicable & executable on 90 days evalution package of 4.2.0.124 of windows platform .
can i import my windows based 4.2.0.124 datbase directly to my acs appliance running 4.2.1.15.3 ??? , else its requires any step to be done to modify the windows based databse matching to appliance windows verison once .
I could see on appliance under restore settings the following options (restore from 4.2.0 backup file to acs 4.2.1)
