    Hi,

    Does anyone know where to find the flashbackup files which Airwave gets from the controllers every night?

    I want to create a simple backup script that pushes the files on my tftp.

     

    Maybe you have also an idea how to build the script so that it only backup the latest files? 

     

    I already found a great EXPECT script here (http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Wireless-Access/Sharing-quot-Expect-quot-script-to-backup-controllers/td-p/85362), that seems to do a great backup job. But unfortunately we have no internet access with Airwave and installing the additional packets manually is terrible..

    Hi,

     

    we could get the controller flashbackup file from  #cd /var/airwave/device-backup/ap/<id> directory.

     

    We could get the id of the controller from APs/Device>monitor page URL link

    https://<Airwave IP>/ap_monitoring?id=5

     

    Note: In Airwave 8.2.4, we blocked CLI root access and we cannot run any custom script.

     

    Regards,

    Pavan
