linux-bash-scripts-core-library

This scripting library is a colimation of many bash scrips that will allow you to do many things with... more ease.

linux-bash-scripts-library-core / backup / backup_router_tomato.sh

This is a script that will back up all of your routers settings, logs, NVRAM data, bandwidth, web usage, sysinfo and more. It is very useful if you often make changes to your router and want the reassurance that your settings are being backed up. Their is nothing worse than doing a 30/30/30 reset and then thinking "…did I write down my settings…". Use this script if you would like to have your router back itself up to a usb storage device on a regular basis by using the scheduler.

Features

• Backup Router Config
• Backup SysLog
• Backup WebDomains
• Backup WebSearches
• Backup SysInfo

  • mv /mnt/usb8gb/active_system/linux-bash-scripts-library-core-master /mnt/usb8gb/active_system/scripts

USB (Run After Mounting)

Navigate to [USB & NAS] -> [USB Support] -> Run After Mounting

logIt() { echo "$@"; logger -t USBMount "$@"; }

if [ -d /mnt/usb8gb ]; then
	logIt "Mounted: usb8gb"
	nvram set usb_disk=/tmp/mnt/usb8gb
	nvram set usb_disk_system=$(nvram get usb_disk)/active_system
	
	# Sync & Save Root Home Folder
	#cp -a -f "$(nvram get usb_disk_tomato)/Root Home/." "/tmp/home/root/"
	
	logIt "Mounting Optware and Apps"
	mount -o noatime -t ext3 -o bind "$(nvram get usb_disk_system)/optware" /opt

Tips

But everything that you are planning on running on your tomato router from the USB drive in a folder on the root of your USB drive called active_system. Exp: (/mnt/usb8gb/active_system)

Backups will save by default to a folder called backups on the root of your flash drive. Exp: (/mnt/usb8gb/backups)
