Wireless Access

Hello,

We use the cloud Central service and I've been looking into ways of creating backup configs for our AP Groups. From what I've seen, there doesn't seem to be a tool for that directly from Central, but there are some Central APIs that will generate backups based on Group and restore a Group from a backed up config.

Is the backup config stored in Central? The API page says it gets flagged to not delete, so does the backup sit there indefinitely? Is there a way to automate the backups, like say once per month?

Thanks in advance.

-------------------------------------------

if you are after backing up running configuration of your APs, switches and gateways then, you can use  Central Automation Studio which uses the APIs

If my post was useful accept solution and/or give kudos.
