[SOLVED] Howto perform a backup via the console

Hi there,
I am currently without web admin access and since the issue is related to an upgrade that didn't go well (and now openssl is messed-up) I was wondering how I could trigger a backup of the config through the console.
Many thanks in advance for the advice!!
Best,
Manu

Hi Manu,
Option 13 from the console menu, namely "Restore a backup".

Hi Franco,
What I need is to perform a backup, not a restore.
Cheers,
Manu

I'm not sure I understand, your backup history is under /conf/backup automatically. The current configuration can be backed up manually...
# cp /conf/config.xml /conf/my-backup.xml
