I run a nightly cron for some of my boxen for this handy script: #!/bin/bash DATESTAMP=`date +%F-%k%M%S` wget -qO /istorage/infrastructure/prod_edgefw03/backup-$DATESTAMP.xml --post-data 'Submit=Download' --user=admin --password='secretpassword' --no-check-certificate "http://HOSTNAME/diag_backup.php"; Replace your password and hostname of your box, and it'll download your config to a datestamped XML file. ***CAVEAT*** I'm using this against a handful of pfSense boxes running 1.2.2 and 1.2.3. This may not work with the 2.x series. It is untested there... ***CAVEAT*** --Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
