Automated backups for MikroTik devices can be accomplished by running a scheduled script. The following script can be run in the scheduler in order to automate the backups to an SFTP share. It was tested on a MiroTik hEX RB750Gr3 with RouterOS 7.20.1. Just make sure to adjust the first five variables to your needs. This script is based on another script I found on the forum – here. I adjusted the date settings in the filename since these weren’t working for me.
Welcome to my haven!
This is my little corner on the internet, were I write about my current projects, networking, security and everything else I encouner in my everyday work and studies. The projects are longer and more detailed, the normal blog post for my every day findings. Feel free to have a look around or reach out if you have questions or just want to say Hi!
Configure OPNsense Bridge on a Sophos SG125 V2
I recently purchased two Sophos SG 125 V2s with OPNsense. These have several physical (Layer 3) interfaces, which I would like to combine into a bridge. This allows multiple interfaces to be treated like a switch (Layer 2) and assigned to the same network without having to configure each interface individually.
Sophos has a DMZ, a LAN, an HA, a WAN, and several normal Ethernet ports. I would like to set up the Ethernet ports together as a bridge.
