Examples

Example-1: this example demonstrates the configuration of a config export policy ACI_EXPORT. It will export the ACI backup format as json to the server associated to the remote location policy listed under the remote_location attribute of BKP_SRV. The backup is configured with a scheduler named MIDNIGHT, which can be set to run on a nightly basis. Since the snapshot attribute is set to true, a snapshot of the configuration will be stored on the APIC in addition to the server export. Note that the snapshot attribute, which exports the config backup locally on the APIC, is missing. It is off by default, and since it is mutually exclusive with the definition of a remote location, it is left to its default.
