Downloads a configuration backup of an AVM Fritz!Box to the a file. Originally developed for automatic backups with rsnapshot. It supports downloading the config through the internet using remote access. The configuration is ecrypted with no password, a password of your choice or "admin" as default. Without a password you cannot load the config into another Fritz!Box.
Usage: ./fritzbox-config-downloader [arguments]
| Argument | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| -h Hostname[:Port] | Hostname or IP of the Fritz!Box to backup. Port is optional. | Default is "fritz.box". |
| -u Username | Username for newer versions of Fritz!OS and for remote access. | Default is no username. |
| -p Password | Password for the Fritzbox. | Default is no password. |
| -e ExportPassword | Password for the backup file. | If present but no password set, the default is "admin". |
| -o OutputFile | Output file to store the downloaded config. | Defaults to ./FritzBox.export |
| -r | Set to enable remote access to the Fritz!Box over the internet using HTTPS. | |
| -s SecondPassword | Older Fritz!Box models secure remote access with HTTP-Auth. If the Fritz!Box has a password for local access to the webinterface this password is needed, too. In this case, pass the remote access password as using the -p argument and the local webinterface password using this -s argument. Fritz!OS 5.50 fixes this Bug, it doesn't need this parameter anymore. So in most cases you won't need this argument. |
Default is no password. |
