Config Backup Skill

Backup network device configurations to local storage with flexible filtering options.

Workflow

  1. List Available Devices: Call list_devices() to view all devices and their group/​role/​site attributes
  2. Filter Target Devices: Select devices by group, role, or site (e.g., "core role" → R3, R4)
  3. Execute Backup Commands: Run nornir_execute(device, "show running-config") on each device
  4. Save Configurations: Call save_device_config(device, "running", content) to persist backups

Device Classification

View device attributes with list_devices():

DeviceGroupsRoleSite
R1testborderlab
R2testborderlab
R3testcorelab
R4testcorelab
SW1testaccesslab
SW2testaccesslab

Usage Examples

Backup by Group

User: backup group:test running config
Process:
  1. list_devices() → Find devices in "test" group
  2. Execute show running-config on R1, R2, R3, R4, SW1, SW2
  3. save_device_config saves each config to data/​exports/

Backup by Role

User: backup role:core all configs
Process:
  1. list_devices() → Find devices with role="core" (R3, R4)
  2. nornir_execute fetches running + startup configs
  3. save_device_config persists both configs

Backup by Site

User: backup site:lab running config
Process:
  1. list_devices() → Find all devices at site="lab"
  2. Batch backup all 6 devices

Single Device Backup

User: backup R1 running config
Process:
  1. nornir_execute("R1", "show running-config")
  2. save_device_config("R1", "running", content)

Backup Types

  • running - Current running configuration (show running-config)
  • startup - Startup configuration (show startup-config)
  • all - Both running and startup configs

Backup Storage

All backups are saved to agent_dir/​data/​configs/:

agent_dir/​data/​configs/
├── R1-running-config-20260108-120000.txt
├── R2-running-config-20260108-120000.txt
├── R1-startup-config-20260108-120000.txt
└── ...

Version Control with Git

# Initialize repository (one-time)
cd agent_dir/​data
git init
git config user.name "OLAV Backup"

# After backup
git add -A
git commit -m "Backup $(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"

# View backup history
git log --oneline | head -10
