XC Backup via API

[AlsDevC]

Hi Floks,

I would like to automate the backup (and restore if needed!) of my XC configurations via the API.

What is the best way, can I save all the configurations at once, should I save the namespaces completely, one by one or should I save each object of a namespace (pool, healthcheck, HTTP LB, App FW...)? Or maybe it's doable per service? In short, what is the smartest way to make a complete backup of the confs?

Thanks.

Hi @AlsDevC, here is a bash script that uses the XC API to backup the configuration of your tenant, specific namespace, or object.

Hi Miguel, 

Many thanks. Maybe i'll adapt it to restore automaticaly a piece of configuration (LB or pool for exemple), certainly with ansible. If something works correctly, i'll share it. 

BR.
