Hi Dave, We use Oxidized (integrated to Librenms), and the git style repo is fantastic for change management; though there is also the option for Unimus if you want a more polished solution. Cheers, Dave Browning dlbNetworks 0413 579 391 | dlbnet.works PO Box 171, Jimboomba QLD 4280 | 1800 DLB NET

Hi All, Just wondering how other people manage their router backups? We manager a few routers across different clients, and we have been doing email backups to a office 365 mailbox for a while to keep historic backups of routers (both an Export/rsc and binary .backup files) , but every time I go to set it up and wage war with modern antispam configurations, I think there should be a better way.
I was playing with the idea of creating a small custom SMTP server receive my mikrotik backup emails and store them appropriately (depending on client, router, and date, etc) and then do Git commits to keep track of changes on the .rsc/plain text backups, but thought I'd find out if anyone else has some good ideas. Also going down this route I can make sure all my backups go via VPN to our backup server which would be nice now that I think of it.
I did notice that Mikrotik have a Cloud based backup service (which seems to be a paid option), but I always like having control over my own data (and I'll spend days of time to avoid a $5 subscription) hence the hesitation there.
Anyways, would be very interested to hear anyone else's perspective on this.
First time poster too, so hope this kind of question is appropriate.
