Backups

Vendor-aware backup commands streamline configuration and system snapshots.

Common commands:

# Configuration export only
nw backup config device1

# Comprehensive backup (configuration + system data)
nw backup comprehensive device1

# Group operations with options
nw backup comprehensive office_switches --store-results
nw backup config device1 --delete-remote

Platform behavior: - MikroTik RouterOS: creates .rsc (export) and optionally .backup (system) - Cisco IOS/IOS-XE: collects configuration and system info outputs

Tips: - Combine with --store-results to archive outputs in the results directory. - Use device groups to back up multiple devices concurrently. - See vendor pages for platform-specific details.
