Downloads the configuration of Mikrotik RouterOS devices for backup purposes over SSH.
Mikrotik and RouterOS are trademarks of Mikrotikls SIA.
SSH access must be set up on your RouterOS device. The script can authenticate
using a provided username and password, or using a private key. The private key
can be protected with a passphrase when using ssh-agent.
Authentication parameters must be set through environment variables:
MIKROTIK_ROUTEROS_USERNAME: optionally specifies the username; only required when different from the user under which the script is executed.MIKROTIK_ROUTEROS_PASSWORD: specifies the password for password-based authentication; when set, the script will never attempt key-based authentication.MIKROTIK_ROUTEROS_IDENTITY: optionally specifies the name of a specific identity file (private key) to use for key-based authentication; when omitted, the SSH client will decide which key to use from the user's default key store.
The RouterOS user must have access to at least the ftp, policy, read,
sensitive, ssh and test policies. In order to clean up the backup files
from the device the write policy is required.
The script must be invoked as follows:
mrosconf HOST_OR_IP EXPORT_FILE SYSTEM_BACKUP_FILE
Parameters:
HOST_OR_IP: host name or IP address of the Mikrotik RouterOS device.EXPORT_FILE: destination file name for the text-based backup using the export command.SYSTEM_BACKUP_FILE: destination file name for the unencrypted binary system backup file.
