Automate backup

[VincentDruart]

Hello,

As said in this documentation, it explain how to backup and restore the system. https://docs.automation.boschrexroth.com/doc/1485124267/backing-up-and-restoring-introduction/4-09/e...

I also found this one about a backup with commande line but it's from an eng pc and it's not automatic https://docs.automation.boschrexroth.com/unit/3543923546/backup-command-line/latest/en/

This is great, bu i need to go further, like all my others installations with others controller brand. I need to do an automated backup every day (like a cron, to push the backup in secure servers in the cloud), backup that include plc, webiq, recipes, remanent variables.

Is there someone who already done that ? Or a documentation about this ?

Best regards.
Vincent

Hello, 

You can use Rest API 🙂 from a device in the same network. 

Would thatz be a solution?

[VincentDruart]

It can, i see the backup section of the REST API but i need to execute this from the CtrlX.
Though there was an easier "in built" solution bu i will try that.

Would it be possible with NodeRED to execute a backup with REST API, get the file and send it to an AWS S3 storage ? (https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-aws)

I never used NodeRED, if someone here can tell me if it's possible.

hello, 

Rest-api in node-red are feinitely possible 🙂 see here: https://developer.community.boschrexroth.com/t5/Store-and-How-to/Systematic-Reboot-with-REST-API-and...

For the second part i have no experiences 🙂

We are currently working on a out of the box possibility to schedule backup or configurations archiving activities as well as creating system reports. But there is no fix time schedule yet.
