Scheduling backups from ASA 5585 in Multi-Context mode

akhan0002 — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 07:39:30 GMT

Hi All,

I need to somehow create scheduled backups from a ASA 5585 running around 30 customer contexts.

the firewall needs to push the backups of the configuration to a backup server. preferably via SCP

i have looked at various options

1. EEM Scripting - doesnt work for multi-contexts

2. KRON - not possible via the ASA 5585

3. the 'archive' command - again not valid on the ASA 5585

4. the 'Call-Home' feature - this is limited to either Mail or HTTP methods

Any other ways possible?

If you are looking for a free solution i would suggest installing RANCID on a linux VM (http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/). This software checks for any configuration change and if it detects a change it will perform a backup. It will also backup any other network devices such ar routers and switches.
