Does anyone know how to perform a backup on a netscreen 25 firewall?
I have some old backups of this firewall, so I know somehow someone
backed it up, but that person is not with this company any longer and
I do not know how to make a backup of the firewall.

I have some big changes to make soon and I would like to backup the
firewall first. Please let me know if you are familiar with this
device.

Thank you,

B

Yep, create a readonly backupuser who is able to login via ssh-key (i
describe my automatic version I use).

Now you can scp:$IP:ns_sys_config $TARGET, I've wrote me a script who
does it every hour, if you interested I'm happy to share it.

cheers

NP here we go:


#!/bin/bash

DATE=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`
KEY=<place the key here e.g. path/id_pub.das>
DST=/mnt/backup/netscreen
DEBUG=0

getconfig()
{
if [ $DEBUG -eq 1 ];
then echo scp -i $KEY backup@"$1":ns_sys_config $DST/
netscreen"-"$DATE.conf;
scp -i $KEY backup@"$1":ns_sys_config $DST/
netscreen"-"$DATE.conf;
else scp -q -i $KEY backup@"$1":ns_sys_config $DST/
netscreen"-"$DATE.conf;
fi
find $DST -type f -mtime +1 -name "*.conf" -exec bzip2 {} \;
find $DST -type f -mtime +60 -name "*.bz2"| xargs rm -rf
}

if [ "$1" == "" ];
then echo "usage $0 <IP-adddess>";
exit 1;
else getconfig $1;
fi
exit 0;


the call is $SCRIPTNAME $IPADDRESS (I have to backup more than one), 60
days it automatically bzips the files, I use it to archive it to tape.

If you have problems just let me know.

cheers
