Automatically backup Netgear WNDAP

As part of an ongoing battle to backup all network devices, I’ve cobbled together a batch script to backup Netgear’s ProSafe range of access points. Save the following as Backup.bat:

@echo off

REM ================================================================
REM CONFIGURATION INFO
REM ================================================================
set CFGFILE=BackupList.txt
set DESTDIR=C:\Backups\
set NET_USERNAME=admin
set NET_PASSWORD=netgear

REM ================================================================
REM STOP CHANGING HERE OR YOU'LL BREAK SOMETHING
REM ================================================================
SET TIMESTAMP=%date:~-4,4%.%date:~-7,2%.%date:~-10,2%
for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=," %%A in (%CFGFILE%) do (
	IF NOT EXIST "%DESTDIR%%TIMESTAMP%" mkdir "%DESTDIR%%TIMESTAMP%" > NUL
	echo %%B

	curl -s -c "%%A.cookie.txt" "http://%%B/login.php?username=%NET_USERNAME%&password=%NET_PASSWORD%"
	curl -s -b "%%A.cookie.txt" "http://%%B/downloadFile.php?file=config" -o "%DESTDIR%%TIMESTAMP%\%%A.cfg"

	IF EXIST %%A.cookie.txt del %%A.cookie.txt
)

Automatically backup IPOffice

Some time ago I investigated automating backups of network devices such as switches, access points and other devices. I knocked up a quick batch script to backup Avaya IPOffice phone systems (It’d probably work on the older Lucent ArgentOffice too). Save the following as Backup.bat:

@echo off
REM ================================================================
REM CONFIGURATION INFO
REM ================================================================
set CFGFILE=BackupList.txt
set DESTDIR=C:\Backups\

REM ================================================================
REM STOP CHANGING HERE OR YOU'LL BREAK SOMETHING
REM ================================================================
SET TIMESTAMP=%date:~-4,4%.%date:~-7,2%.%date:~-10,2%
for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=," %%A in (%CFGFILE%) do (
	IF NOT EXIST "%DESTDIR%%TIMESTAMP%" mkdir "%DESTDIR%%TIMESTAMP%" > NUL
	echo %%B
	tftp -i %%B GET config "%DESTDIR%%TIMESTAMP%\%%A.cfg" > NUL
)

Automatically backup Netscreen firewall

I spent some time a while ago automating the backups of network device configuration to a restricted network share and thought I’d share a simple batch script to backup the configuration from multiple Juniper Netscreen (ScreenOS) firewalls.

@echo off
REM ================================================================
REM CONFIGURATION INFO
REM ================================================================
set USERNAME=backupAccount
set PASSWORD=superSecretPassword
set CFGFILE=BackupList.txt
set DESTDIR=C:\Backups\

REM ================================================================
REM STOP CHANGING HERE OR YOU'LL BREAK SOMETHING
REM ================================================================
SET TIMESTAMP=%date:~-4,4%.%date:~-7,2%.%date:~-10,2%
for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=," %%A in (%CFGFILE%) do (
	IF NOT EXIST "%DESTDIR%%TIMESTAMP%" mkdir "%DESTDIR%%TIMESTAMP%"
	pscp -q -scp -pw %PASSWORD% %USERNAME%@%%B:ns_sys_config "%DESTDIR%%TIMESTAMP%\%%A.cfg"
)
