Retrieve Omada settings from device
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have a small installation for a customer where the settings for the Omada controller (software) were backed not up properly. It is a little organization with very limited resources and their old server died (disk failure). The Omada controller is gone, but the devices continue to function with their last configuration. Before I recreate everything, I thought I would explore the possibility of retrieving the configuration from one of the EAP devices and using that to rebuild some of the controller information.
Do you have the Device Admin credentials at least from the old controller?
Do you know if it was creating autobackups like mine? If so, can you forensically recover one of those backups?
In my case (using mbentley's docker image) those files were stored here: /opt/tplink/EAPController/data/autobackup and were linked to a docker volume on the host machine which I can extract the files from.
If you can retrieve at least 1 good backup file, you can at least get the device admin info, and most likely 99% of the running config you need. Otherwise, you'll be re-imagining the controller...
