I do it manually by exporting the configuration from within The Dude. Don't know if it's scriptable...

I am trying to do the same thing. I am monitoring my whole network with SMS notifications and I can't afford the Dude to crash and then not have a back-up. Also the back-ups are to big to email, so it needs to be transferred to a remote server(probably Linux) via FTP or something.

I really thought there would be a option for this somewhere on the Dude, but it turns out there isn't :(

For now I am left with manually backing it up and then copying it to the remote server :( :( :(

This would REALLY be a great addition to an already great program.

We really need to be able to automate backups from both Dude and Mikrotik.

The lack of automated backups is a real waste of time and effort.

We would be willing to have a MikroTik hosted remote backup service....

Kind of a work around but if you are running in windows environment create a scheduled task that runs weekly that executes a batch file that zips the file then either emails it or ftps it somewhere. something like

@echo off
set HH=%TIME:~0,2%
if "%time:~0,1%"==" " set HH=0%HH:~1,1%
set YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS=%DATE:~10,4%-%DATE:~4,2%-%DATE:~7,2%_%HH%%TIME:~3,2%%TIME:~6,2%
alzip -a "C:\program files\dude", "c:\backups\dude%YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS%.zip"


You could then extend the script to copy it to another server or ftp it to a server

Everytime we have tried to upload an export it has not worked. It could be because we had pictures uploaded and Router OS versions uploaded to it. I would do a hard drive backup.
