Scripted backup of PowerConnect 6248 config

Hi:

I am investigating the possibility of using a script from a Linux host to backup the configuration of our PowerConnect 6248.

I tried to use ssh to run remote commands to the switch.  That did not work.

Then I saw someone mentioned of using SNMP (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-switches/f/866/p/19440282/20073106.aspx).  However, I cannot get it to work either.  It fails with "agentTransferUploadRemoteFilename: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> agentTransferUploadRemoteFilename)".

All of our PowerConnect 6248 runs 3.2.1.3.

So I want to see if anyone has any suggestions on what I can do the automated the PowerConnect config backup process?

Thanks,

Eric Wong
