is there a CLI command on the Procurve 5406zl switches that I can backup the switch configuration?

Darren

Copy a saved config or running config to a tftp server:

Switch# copy tftp

example from running to file:

Switch# copy run tftp 10.1.1.10 config1.cfg

PS:
Get this CLI ref guide, it shows how to configure HP ProVision, HP Comware5 and Cisco switches for lots of different functions, in a side-by-side comparison, so if you know one CLI, you see how to do it in a different CLI:

http://www.itclatam.com/pdf/HP-Networking-and-Cisco-CLI-Reference-Guide_June_10_WW_Eng_ltr.pdf

More than you may need, but good, concise bits of info.

You can also backup the config remotely with SSH and SCP enabled on the switch ("ip ssh" and "ip ssh filetransfer"), using:

(for example)

pscp -scp -l USERNAME -pw PASSWORD -2 192.168.100.1:cfg/running-config c:\switch.cfg

..or you can use automated backup solution http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/ with configuration versioning (it's not only cisco...).

I am trying to configure rancid for hp 2530-8g switch, it works fine when there is no login configured on switch. But as soon as I set password for manager, rancid starts fail to login to switch. It looks like prompt issues with HP switch. 

Can somebody please help here.
