Local fix

• $CLASSPATH in the backupConfig.sh script causing the issue.
  Below work around can be used to fix the issue.
  
  1) Take a backup of WAS_HOME/bin/backupConfig.sh
  2) Edit backupConfig.sh, remove :$CLASSPATH as shown below and
  save the changes.
  
  From:
  #Common args...
  C_PATH="$WAS_CLASSPATH":$CLASSPATH
  
  To:
  #Common args...
  C_PATH="$WAS_CLASSPATH"
  
  3) Run backupConfig.sh

  It happens when a class which typically should be in the OSGI
  runtime  is present in the system classpath and it tries to
  access another OSGi class (for instance, FrameworkLog) then it
  cannot see it and fails with java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.
