This is a new version of my old bash script written in python, which makes backups of Mikrotik devices and downloads them to any local folder.
Allows creation of:
- plaintext + full encrypted backups.
- cloud backup in Mikortik cloud.
- backup of UserManager database.
- Flush of UM sessions after backup.
Also the script sends all important alerts and information to Telegram bot + full logging into local file.
Requires additionally two python packages:
- paramiko
- requests
Installation:
- Just download the script to any folder. For example, on Debian-based OS it could be /usr/local/bin/ folder.
- Launch the script from CLI for the first time. It will generate a default configuration file.
- Modify the config. file:
"telegramToken" and "telegramChat" - fill in to get Telegram notifications work
"logFile" - Path and name of the log file. Default right in the script's folder with script's name.
"backupFolder" - Root backup folder, inside of which all other folder will be made. Every folder with backups has a name as current date. "backupEncryptPass" - the password you want to set for cloud backup and file backups for Mikrotik.

You can set only Password variable if need password auth, or keyfile - if key file auth.
