Configure ASA dap.xml file backup

The Dynamic Access Policies (DAP) configuration of ASA v8.0 is stored in a file called dap.xml on the flash memory. It is not stored as part of the running config file or startup config file. A normal CatTools backup activity does not backup this file.

To get CatTools to backup this file you need to create a second activity using trivial file transfer protocols (TFTP) to transfer the file off your device.

In this case, creating a Device.CLI.Send commands activity with the following commands should complete the task you are trying to accomplish.

copy disk0:/dap.xml tftp://tftpserver-name/dap.xml
dap.xml
tftpserver-name
%ctDeviceName.%ctDateISO.dap.xml
