Hi,
 
Netsight 3.3.x include this enhancement :
"Schedule Database Backups. A new suite-wide option lets you easily schedule 
regular backups of the NetSight database. Select one or more days of the week 
and specify a time for the backup to be performed; the backup will take place 
at the same time for each selected day."
http://secure.enterasys.com/products/management/downloads/NetSight.html
 
Regarding the CLI database backup there is an article on the knowledgebase 
"9976 : CLI Backup of the NetSight Database" :
https://knowledgebase-enterasys.talismaonline.com/display/4n/kb/article.aspx?aid=9976&n=6&tab=search&bt=4n&s=
 
Using the CLI is safe, but you have to backup configuration files/templates and 
any other files not contain in the DB by hand. You can follow this TB " 13209 : 
NetSight - Moving the NetSight Server to a New System" :
https://knowledgebase-enterasys.talismaonline.com/display/4n/kb/article.aspx?aid=13209&n=2&tab=search&bt=4n&s=

Objet : [enterasys] Automated database backups



After initially being advised that it was not possible to backup the NetSight 
database on the command line, thus automating the process, I have determined 
the command that NetSight uses backup the database.

 

/usr/local/Enterasys_Networks/NetSight/mysql/bin/mysqldump 
--defaults-file=/usr/local/Enterasys_Networks/NetSight/mysql/my.ini --hex-blob 
--user=netsight --password=<PASSWORD> --lock-tables --extended-insert --quick 
--no-create-info --complete-insert --result-file=<RESULT FILE LOCATION> netsight

 

I have successfully restored from a backup made using this command, but before 
I turn it into an automated process I'd like to be sure that it is safe to do 
so. Does anyone else currently do backups in a similar fashion?
