Backup the Recoverpoint config file
We recently upgraded from Recoverpoint 3.5 to 4.0. I was hoping there was an easy way to backup the RecoverPoint config files, but I don't see anything in the new Unisphere that supports this. Anyone have any idea's on an easy way to perform this task?
Thanks,
Kevin

This is easy to do with powershell.
For each cluster you can use this one liner (using plink)
# Change cluster names to your own
$clusters = @("PRODRP","DRRP")
#format date as req
$datenow = (get-date -f ddMMyy)
# execute for each cluster in $clusters variable, out-file location can be changed. change user/pass if req
Foreach ($name in $clusters) {
.\plink.exe -ssh $name -P 22 -l admin -pw admin save_settings windows=yes | out-file c:\files\"$name"_"$datenow".backup }
Schedule as required.
I've blogged this in a little more detail here; EMC Recoverpoint: Automating Cluster Configuration backups | Pragmatic IO
Hope this is useful

do you mean like the CG settings and such? have you tried the save_settings command in the cli?

As Ankur implied, you need to use the save_settings CLI command to export all the config details.
As a best practice I recommend customers to run a scheduled weekly batch file or script to capture these details.
