MikrotikBackupScript

Add Devices

To add the devices to the list, you need to start a connection with WinSCP. In the connection you can export the Fingerprints. WinSCP needs the SHA256 Key and Plink the MD5. Add the "=" to the SHA Fingerprint. You can copy both by the link label in the promt:

Copy the Devices.csv.examlpe to Devices.csv and add your devices.

IP;DeviceName;Hostkey;plinkHostkey;Username;Password
44.149.19.113;DeviceIdentiy;ssh-rsa 2048 HPKJ2oICnzyjTo3UCAgpYPcL5w/9C4P6tyPuMb29L2E=;ssh-rsa 2048 7b:2b:2e:66:57:38:91:b8:90:d8:f2:d6:23:3e:40:a5;admin;password

I use the system identity from the device itself for the device name. The device name is used in the backup file name.

Delete old files

The script automatically delete old backup files. Default is 14 days old files. You can chnage it in the script:

$Ordner = Get-ChildItem -Path $ExportPath;
foreach ($Datei in $Ordner)
{
    # Change it here
    if ($Datei.CreationTime -lt $(Get-Date).AddDays(-14))
    {
		Write-Host "Remove $($Datei.FullName)";
        Remove-Item $Datei.FullName -Recurse -Force;
    }
}

Run the scipt

You need to download plink.exe (https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html) and store it in the same directory.

Change the path to your environment.

powershell.exe -file ".\Backup.sh"
