Ensure other important infrastructure configuration is backed up

[geerlingguy]

I manually back up configurations for the following devices into my NAS, in an 'App Data' directory. I would like to not do that manually, because manual processes are sad.

• back up asus wifi/router configuration regularly
• back up main rack microtik CRS309-1G-8S switch configuration regularly
• back up office rack microtik CRS309-1G-8S switch configuration regularly
• back up QNAP 2.5G switch configuration regularly
• back up pi-hole configuration regularly
• back up home assistant configuration regularly

(Alternatively, try to find ways to automate the configuration with Ansible so I wouldn't even need the configs.)

If everything is pushed automatically, you only need to backup the source of that push. I don't have this more my network devices yet, but it is something I am working on.

pi-hole backup is fairly easy. just use the teleporter

pihole -a teleporter

creates a tar file as a backup. that can be used in backup scripts

I just found https://github.com/ytti/oxidized
which looks interesting to backup routers etc. (has config for aruba) (it is in the mikrotik forum post, i linked in #6)
