.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.B router_backup
|
||||
is a tool for backing up router configurations via SSH. It connects to multiple routers defined in a
|

set of YAML configuration file(s) and executes commands, saving the output to files.
|

.PP
|
||||
The tool supports multiple device types with predefined command sets, SSH agent authentication, and automatic file organization.

The configuration file uses YAML format with two main sections:
|

.SS types
|
||||
Define device types with their command sets:
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.EX
|
||||
types:
|
||||
srlinux:
|
||||
commands:
|
||||
- show version
|
||||
- show platform linecard
|
||||
.EE
|
||||
.SS devices
|
||||
Define individual devices:
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.EX
|
||||
devices:
|
||||
router1:
|
||||
user: admin
|
||||
type: srlinux
|
||||
.EE
|
||||
.SH AUTHENTICATION
|
||||
Authentication is attempted in the following order:
|
||||
.IP 1.
|
||||
SSH agent (if SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is set)
|
||||
.IP 2.
|
||||
Specified key file (--key-file option)
|
||||
.IP 3.
|
||||
Default SSH keys (~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa)
|
||||
.IP 4.
|
||||
Password authentication (--password option)
|
||||
.SH OUTPUT
|
||||
For each device, a text file named after the hostname is created in the specified directory. Each command output is prefixed with "## COMMAND: <command_name>" for easy identification.

||||
