Set up SSH on each RouterOS box you want backed up, with host keys for automated login.Īdjust the user-configurable variables at the top of the script: You can download the latest version of the script here.Īlternately, you may wish to maintain a local fork of this repository so you can manage your local modifications without needing to overwrite them each time this script changes. You might find that you enjoy Fossil for the same reasons you enjoy RouterOS. Fans of other VCSes are encouraged to give the script a try as-is before going in and hacking it to use your current VCS of choice. The Fossil version control system is designed with the same sensibility as RouterOS: self-contained, featureful, compact, and coherent. There may be third-party SSH command line implementations that use the same command formats this script relies on, but no attempt has been made to verify this. OpenSSH is installed by default on virtually every Linux and macOS system, and it's a first-party add-on from Microsoft for modern Windows versions. The script was written for systems with the OpenSSH commands in mind. It can be made to run on modern Windows systems via WSL, or on legacy Windows systems via Cygwin. It was written for and tested on a macOS system, but it should run just as well on Linux. It relies on other POSIX user environment stuff: cut, grep, tail, etc. The script was written and tested under Bash, though it should be portable to any other POSIX shell, needing only a change to the shebang line. That means you can get a web view of your RouterOS backups using the Files interface above, browse the history of your backups, get graphical diffs between versions of your backups, download Zip archives of your latest backups, and more.
The script uses SSH to create and pull the backup files, which it then stores in Fossil, the version control system backing this very web site. There are many solutions for backing up RouterOS devices.
