Backup checkpoint on windows server 2012

[SAT_S]

I have come across one more issue in checkpoint management backup through web ui..when iam trying to do a ftp backup to a windows server 2012 R2 it is giving me this error " ftp backup has failed.
Failed to transfer the package to the remote server". 

[Ofir_Shikolski]

I'm also using win server 2012 R2 as my backup server.

In my case , I'm using filezila server on win2012R2 : FileZilla - The free FTP solution  

I less prefer the build-in ftp that part of Microsoft .

with my case , I had to configure windows's firewall for the FTP traffic in order it to work.

[SAT_S]

is it working for checkpoint backup also????  but even if iam using microsoft built in ftp it should work but this doesnt seems to work

[Ofir_Shikolski]

yes, it does work for me

[Ofir_Shikolski]

did you check these ?

1. Gaia backup via FTP / TFTP fails with "file transfer failed" error 

Cause

FTP / TFTP password contains at least one of the illegal characters:

• < - less than
• > - greater than
• & - ampersand
• ; - semi-colon

Solution

Change the FTP / TFTP password, so that it does not contain any of the illegal characters.

2. Scheduled Gaia backup fails in R77.30 

Cause

• Scheduled backup password configured in Gaia Clish R77.30 is corrupted.
• Scheduled backup password configured in previous Gaia version gets corrupted after upgrade to R77.30.

Solution

This problem was fixed. The fix is included in:

• Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R77.30 - since Take_33

[SAT_S]

yes i did but it still didnt worked ..

I recommend to engage with TAC

i think m defining the path wrong way should i put the shared path in /ip of serv/folder/ or other way /drive:/folder/ but both ways it didn't worked for me.

The answer to this question really depends on your FTP server.

I recommend using a command line FTP client and log into the server using the same credentials as you configure your Gaia backups to use.

Navigate around the directory structure (using cd, dir, etc) until you find the place you want to upload the backups.

Type the command pwd.

The output of pwd is what you should configure Gaia to use.

FTP is happening successfully now but i do not want to use default ftp port.

[PhoneBoy · Accepted solution]

Unfortunately, Gaia does not offer a way to change the default FTP port for backups.

It's a product limitation, like I said.

[SAT_S]

thanks for the help and sharing this Dameon..

[SAT_S]

also i want to know how can we ftp backup to a server listening on a customized port

[PhoneBoy]

I don't believe you can backup to an FTP server on a different port.

This is a product limitation.

I was able to get my R80.10 and R80.20 SMS to backup to a windows filezilla server with the following syntax.   I created an admin user on the filezilla server with the home shared folder "c:\backup".

Since it took a few attempts on the path syntax I decided to post my commands.

add backup-scheduled name "backup" ftp ip 10.1.1.32 path "/c/backup/" username "admin" password vpn123
set backup-scheduled name backup recurrence daily time 07:46
