I have a setup based on a backup script (originally written by Andrew Cox) which emails a backup (both the binary and text version of the config - binary for faster restores, and text to make diffs easier) to a special-purpose mailbox, which is then polled by a script which pulls down the attachments and pushes them into git. I have uploaded it to https://bitbucket.org/thomasjackson/mikrotikscripts/ if anyone is interested. The script is very rough, but has been working for about a year for us without any problems. -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of James Hodgkinson Sent: Wednesday, 30 September 2015 7:41 AM To: public@talk.mikrotik.com.au Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] Decrypting a backup offline? Yep, already written myself a script to automagically dump the config and download it, next step's to make it an automatic regular thing. (It's for my home network and I'm building a dedicated "backup" box next :) Thanks for the help everyone.
