Nimsoft config restore script

[Steffen Neuser]

Hello,

Does anybody wrote a config restore lua script for Nimsoft and can share it?

We have a backup script based on nimbus.request calls walking over all hubs, robots and probes generating a compressed file
with such lines:
printf(" %s/%s::%s/%s=%s",raddr,pname,sect,key,val)

But we dont know how to get this config-image restored in case for desaster recovery or move another infrastructure.

thx for hints, Steffen

You can perhaps use another type of script that creates a separate config file for each probe.
See attachment for a sample script that creates a folder structure for you domain/hub/robot and creates a file for each probe config.
With this type of backup you can use the backup config without modification.
It's recommended to execute this script via the NSA tool to avoid blocking the NAS.
