Backup configs of network devices automatically
« on: August 07, 2023, 10:23:17 am »
Greetings,

does someone know, if there's a way to backup the configuration of cisco network devices (mainly switches & router) automatically on Nedi? If possible by a default way that Nedi offers -> so maybe by setting correspondig values on certain parameters within nedi.conf, or directly via the webinterface or something.
So far as I know, there only seems to be a way, with which you can backup the configs manually.

Currently we use Nedi version 2.2.22 on a debian vm.

Thx a lot in advance :)

Cheers

Look at the crontab example from the distribution (e.g. with System-Files):

#0 0    * * *   /var/nedi/nedi.pl -B5 -Aall -SAF > /var/log/nedi/nedi-00.bup 2>&1

This backs up the configs of all devices and keeps the last 5 versions as files...
