As the original post described some hell when it came to retyping in MACs (man that has to make you go insane...) I wanted to add this.
I have my MTs sent an email every week - both text and binary. Binary is awesome when you have an identical set of hardware - drag, drop, reboot, done! Text is needed if you want to see parts of the config, move to a different hardware platform or pick and choose what gets loaded. Set the SMTP server, from email address and the to email addresses in each script / tool e-mail set server=X.X.X.X from="s...@this.com" /system script add name=makebackup source="/export file=([/system identity get name] . \"t\")\r\n/tool e-mail send file=([/system identity get name].\"t\") to=\"back...@setthis.com\" body=\"\" subject=([/system identity get name] . \" Backup\")\n" add name=makebinarybackup source="/system backup save name=([/system identity get name] . \"b\")\r\n/tool e-mail send file=([/system identity get name].\"b\") to=\"back...@setthis.com\" body=\"\" subject=([/system identity get name] . \" Backup\")" / system scheduler add name="email-backup" on-event=makebackup start-date=jan/01/2007 start-time=02:15:00 interval=7d comment="daily text backups" disabled=no add name="email-binarybackup" on-event=makebinarybackup start-date=jan/01/2007 start-time=02:20:00 interval=7d comment="daily binary backups" disabled=no Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 "When you have eliminated the impossible, that which remains, however improbable, must be the truth." --- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle On Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 2:04 PM, Dennis Burgess <dmburg...@linktechs.net>wrote: > 493AH or switch, depending on how old it is.
