I just wanted to clarify the auto backup settings and its functionality. I have listed in the "TFTP URL" box "tftp://10.1.1.1/Folder/Name.ncfg". Is this the correct syntax in this location. I have run the command from ssh and it runs just fine.
Also, does this automatic backup run nightly or just every new save? Just wanted to understand its use.

Re: Auto Backup
If it accepts the URL (ie the box does not turn red) then it is the correct format.
It happens on every save.

Re: Auto Backup
Try not putting on the ".ncfg" as I have this enabled on all our switches and it works great but the switch will put a ending to what you give it for the file name so it does not overwrite the previous file. The ending is a unique number I think it is the configuration number which is generated internally.

Re: Auto Backup
In testing it appears that it drops the file in the root tftp folder instead of the full path. So I see the file dumped at "tftp://10.1.1.1" instead of "tftp://10.1.1.1/folder/filename.
Also I tried omitting the file extension and it doesn't appear to automatically append the file name so it just shows up as "filename" instead of "filename.ncfg"

Re: Auto Backup
You can not provide a "path" with TFTP so it is just "IP or URL/filename"+what eric puts on the end if it
TFTP does not accept a path, it is the TFTP root folder only
This is not a bug but a limitation of TFTP and how it works
