Yes. Extensions, guest user accounts and devices are included in ClearPass config backup. So is guest config like pages, airgroup settings etc.

Guest config is included with ClearPass config backup. Server specific settings like AD domain join, static routes, certificates, licenses and custom service parameters are not included in the config backup.

I agree that it looks like guest is not included, but in my experience when restoring the config is there.
Please check (preferred on a test VM) and if you see issues, contact support.

When I have a look in the backup file, which is generated by auto backup, I don't see any guest related stuff.
And the file is just a few MegaBytes big.

What makes you think that Guest settings are not stored in the backup? I've made multiple backup-restores and Guest, Onboard, etc normally comes with the backup. You would need to manually import certificates and rejoin to the domain in case you need MSCHAPv2 authentication. If you restore to a different system, some system specific settings (licenses, IP, routing, etc) are not restored either.
So everything, except for licenses and domain join should be in the backups.

Yeah I also saw this. I'm searching for an automated way to backup all Clearpass configuration.

A complete copy of the Guest configuration can be exported by:
Guest > Administration > Import Configuration > "Create a customized backup"

Hi,
as I saw the clearpass (6.10) auto backup just backups a few configurations.
How do I manage to auto backup everything (system settings, PolicyManger Settings, Guest setting, ...)
It would be nice if this is possible in case of a complete Outage and the upcoming 6.11 upgrade.
