Backup is broken

I have a unit in my development environment with a broken chassis fan. F5 is sending me a new one, I'm replacing the system on 12/31.

 

 

1. To prepare for replacing this unit I executed a backup. The backup process issued an error:

 

 

[root@co-net-997sc:Active] ~ b config save /var/tmp/ltm_backup

 

Saving active configuration...

 

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'

 

/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

 

Fatal: executing: md5sum /config/""/var/class/sorrypage.class"

 

Operation aborted.

 

/tmp/configsync.spec: Error creating package

 

 

WARNING:There are error(s) during saving.

 

Not everything was saved.

 

Be very careful when using this saved file!

 

 

Error creating package

 

BIGpipe: 01110001:3: Error running config save

 

[root@co-net-997sc:Active]

 

 

 

 

2. I then recalled that I had, on this unit, early this year, fooled around with the 'Host that Sorry Page on your BIG-IP!' tip: http://devcentral.f5.com/weblogs/jason/archive/2009/05/12/host-that-so

 

 

rry-page-on-your-big-ip.aspx

 

 

3. I used the GUI to delete the data group 'sorrypage'. It is now gone from the GUI.

 

 

4. Re-ran the backup. It's still failing!

 

 

[root@co-net-997sc:Active] config b config save /var/tmp/ltm_backup

 

Saving active configuration...

 

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'

 

/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

5. Ran qkview, ftp'd to local, ran grep and LO it appears I have issues:

 

 

% cat co-net-997sc.na.plexus.com-tech.out | grep sorry

6. I'd like to use the backup file to re-build the 'new' system instead of re-building everything by hand. Is it possible to get this error cleaned up before 12/31? If 'N', it's not a huge deal.

 

 

Thanks in advance,
