Cisco Backup

[bbbulsara]

Hi Alex,
It's not actually a issue. but i totally new to Python and I loved your Python-Cisco-Backup for my switch backups.
Only thing i want to know as it only doing "show run" and putting output in a file,

Is there any way we can added multiple command to run and put in same output file.

i want this commands to be added but output should be in same file.

show run
show ver
show inv
show cdp nei
show IP route
show interface summ
show vlan
show ospf nei
show license all

Hi, sure! You can use my forked and improved version: https://github.com/ste-giraldo/python3-cisco-config there are also other versions for different vendors, check my repository.

Mine natively doesn't support that, it's just straight for copying configs from different devices. I'm sure it could easily be modified to do that fairly easily. I believe you would just need to either keep adding to the same .txt file, or reopen it with each command you want to write to the file. I'd take a look at @ste-giraldo repository that he linked above my comment. His is more updated, and he is one of the original contributors of this repository :)

For the changes, you would need to go in the vendor-backups folder, and to the specific python file for the devices your using, I think in your case, cisco-ios.py.

If you create it or have any questions, feel free to make a pull-request! I'm not against the idea of adding other commands to the automation. I mainly created this script for backing up my network with Cron.

@ste-giraldo Thank you, but i got a issue with running multiple command request:.
error Squeezed text (1156 lines)
Pop-Up: Kill? your program is still running! do you want to kill it?
If i kill it or cancel it
it still created the file, do i worry about it?

@AlexMunoz905 i was trying to get with GUI as it easy for my team who does know python at all.
I tried to make pull-request but didn't work for me.
Unsure how to add the command with your script to get all this command run at once?
@ste-giraldo works for sure.
@ste-giraldo are you planning to make with GUI interface as well ?

Hi, not in plan to build a GUI at the moment. The tool is mainly meant to be used as a crontab job for config backup or massive changes on the network.
In my repo you can see the readme with the usage and also the screenshots of the runs
