Quick question about the backup functionality in conjunction with an Omada Controller
Hi all,
I actually have a very brief question, about the back-up functionality from my devices when being enrolled in an Omada Controller.
Am I right by saying that, if the controller is properly being backed up, this also means all devices (Switches, EAPs, ...) that are managed by that controller are being backed up this way?
In other words, these backups should be sufficient, right
The reason I'm asking this, is to properly understand the recovery process, if, say for example, one of my switches would crash during a power outage, upgrade, ...
How would this work in pratice, if (hopefully not) ever necessary?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards
Hi @Gabriel-TP,
Thanks for the swift reaction.
So as per my understanding, my interpretation was correct then, right?
Whenever a switch, eap, or any other device would need to be recovered due to various factors, ensuring it is reachable for the controller should be enough.
If the controller is operational, it will reprovision the device, and basically put the most recent configuration known in the controllers database for that particular device back.
If the controller itself were to go down for whatever reason, then restoring from the most recent back up file would be sufficient in that case.
Currently, I have it configured as per following back up schedule to my SFTP server. I think that should be enough?
Thanks for your help so far.
Best regards
