Step 1: Let’s use one of the leafs with ip 10.197.205.38 as remote server (Practically it would be server in your network)

 

Step 2: We are going to use directory /var/log/Test

 

Step 3: Now go to Admin Import/Export Export Policies Remote location

 

Create New Location Leaf1



Step 4 : Now go to Admin Import/Export Export Policies Configuration



Step 5 : Go to Leaf and verify.

 

leaf1# pwd

/var/log/Test

leaf1# ls

ce2_Leaf1-Export-Policy-2023-11-13T09-00-27.tar.gz

 

Sending Backup to Snapshot Folder on APIC controller.



Now go to directory “/data2/snapshots” on APIC

 

apic1# pwd

/data2/snapshots

apic1# ls

ce2_Backup-Snapshot-2023-11-13T09-12-08.tar.gz

 

 

Now go to AdminConfig Rollbacks Take snapshot with location as “APIC”

 

apic1# pwd

/data2/snapshots

apic1# ls -l
