Re: [AFMUG] Network Equipment Config Backups

[Paul Stewart]

It really depends …. so in our case, it’s running a dedicated web interface and 
a pair of pollers.  The SQL backend is clustered serving other systems besides 
just Solarwinds - it’s a *large* cluster running MS SQL Enterprise and NetApp 
SAN….  it was already existing for other internal systems we utilize….

Previous job, with Solarwinds, we ran 3 dedicated polling engines, a dedicated 
web front end, and a dedicated server with SQL Standard on the backend

The variables are polling frequency (we are 5 minutes), number of 
nodes/interfaces/volumes etc…. and to some degree number of users hitting the 
web interface.  Also, reports can put a load on the system depending on their 
complexity and how often they run.

Cheers,
Paul

Rancid at moment - moving to Solarwinds NCM which does pretty much the same but

Tomas has gotten a lot of crap in our Slack chat for using Java, but he has 
make some good counterpoints. Chief among them is that shitty code is shitty 
code in any language. The easier languages tend to have more people coding in 
them that aren't exactly adhering to best practices.

None that I'm aware of.  We run the script at something like 3AM.  It only

On our Cisco gear, we run a kron entry in the config that regularly tftp's

Interested to hear what people use for automatic backups of their network 
equipment configs. 

Mikrotik, Cisco, Zyxel, Ubiquity, Netonix etc… 

We currently use Rancid. 

What do you use?

This is what I use in a script.  Sends both .backup and .rsc Although I 
can't actually remember the last time I used the .backup file.


/system backup save name=email_backup
/export file=backup
/tool e-mail send file=email_backup.backup to="mail...@domain.com" 
body=("See attached file for System Backup\n") subject=([/system 
identity get name] ." " .  [/system resource get version]. " " .[/system 
clock get time] . " " . [/system clock get date] . " Backup")
/tool e-mail send file=backup.rsc to="mail...@domain.com" body=("See 
attached file for System Backup\n") subject=([/system identity get name] 
." " .  [/system resource get version]. " " .[/system clock get time] . 
" " . [/system clock get date] . " " .[/system routerboard get model] 
."  Backup")

For our MT stuff, I have the routers generate a .backup and an /export 
compact into a .rsc every night. Three CentOS machines spread across the 
network then SCP those files off of them. Works good nuf.

When I was at a WISP, Aircontrol 1/2.

For toughswitches we just did a manual backup until we phased those
out for netonix.
---

Currently we're mostly Juniper, so those configs get backed up via
archive on commit via scp to a vm, then that folder gets sync'd to
dropbox. For our fiber stuff, it's built into the NMS software.

Eventually I might add rancid and rancid/observium integration, but
currently I'm not worried about it.
