Does anyone know how to perform a backup on a netscreen 25 firewall? I have some old backups of this firewall, so I know somehow someone backed it up, but that person is not with this company any longer and I do not know how to make a backup of the firewall.
I have some big changes to make soon and I would like to backup the firewall first. Please let me know if you are familiar with this device.
Thank you,
Yep, create a readonly backupuser who is able to login via ssh-key (i describe my automatic version I use).
Now you can scp:$IP:ns_sys_config $TARGET, I've wrote me a script who does it every hour, if you interested I'm happy to share it.
cheers
Yes that would be great, thank you.
NP here we go:
#!/bin/bash
DATE=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S` KEY= DST=/mnt/backup/netscreen DEBUG=0
getconfig() { if [ $DEBUG -eq 1 ]; then echo scp -i $KEY backup@"$1":ns_sys_config $DST/ netscreen"-"$DATE.conf; scp -i $KEY backup@"$1":ns_sys_config $DST/ netscreen"-"$DATE.conf; else scp -q -i $KEY backup@"$1":ns_sys_config $DST/ netscreen"-"$DATE.conf; fi find $DST -type f -mtime +1 -name "*.conf" -exec bzip2 {} \; find $DST -type f -mtime +60 -name "*.bz2"| xargs rm -rf }
if [ "$1" == "" ]; then echo "usage $0 "; exit 1; else getconfig $1; fi exit 0;
the call is $SCRIPTNAME $IPADDRESS (I have to backup more than one), 60 days it automatically bzips the files, I use it to archive it to tape.
If you have problems just let me know.
cheers
