What is the best way to save a file of PPPOE secrets and Profiles to a file to be easily reloaded back into a RB (Router Board) or Server in case of a crash or worse, weather damage. I have a back-up server in stand-by in case of such emergency but the secrets are not up to date as I add and remove customer on a daily basis

Use a RADIUS server, and backup the users file...

is there any other way besides a radius server?

another way ;

open terminal screen,

ppp/secrets

export

select all/copy

past into any file, when needed copy/past back to terminal screen

not very efficient when your trying to recover from a crash. I was looking more on the lines of being able to export the file like you would a configuration back-up file. FTP it out and back in as needed. the list changes almost daily as I add and remove customers, to be able to do a back-up on each friday, the most I would loose is one weeks worth of changes. It just seems to me that as configurable as these router boards are that they would have something like that already set up.

i think it also is possible to write a little script to do backup, maybe someone how did this can past the code here ?

yes the code for that script would be nice to try out and to help automate the backups
