I would like to schedule backups from our configuration on cp ng secure platform (via secure web interface), but cannot get this scheduled task to work properly.
In the past I've configured (Solarwinds) tftp server to use tftp as our backup option. Everything seemed to work fine, but it occured to me that all files ended up the size of 32Mb. Investigation (google) learned that a default limit of 32Mb with TFTP is available (on 32-bits with a word of 16 bits giving default block size 512 * 65535=32Mb)and all our backups ended with this maximum size, but were corrupted. I started experimenting with scp. Installed openssh on our Windows server where the backups should be dropped and when clicking on manual backup in the gui I can make succesfull backups. When however I try to schedule the backups, the backup fails with the message in our Windows event log": "sshd : PID 28860 : Failed password for cpbackup from 10.41.232.1 port 10209 ssh2". This even happens if I use the command line syntax from our firewall module. I am absolutely sure that the passwords I use are correctly. I use the same information in the web gui for the schedule option and for the manual backup option and the manual backup does work with that same password. All scheduled backups fail however and I don't know where to look now. Due to the limit of default TFTP I see three alternatives: 1. make my backup manual everytime from webgui with scp (not my favorite option) 2. Use a tftp server that is able to change blocksize (only know commercial variant which is expensive for this single purpose). 3. solve my scp problem (my favorite option) This scheduling is a Checkpoint given option that in my opinion should work and I'm wondering if I'm the only one having this problem. Any help would be appreciated very much.
