pfSense FTP Backup package

If you manage several pfSense boxes you might find it useful to have automated backups easily available.

This pfSense FtpBackup package allows you to set up scheduled (daily, weekly or monthly) backup to your FTP server.

Please have in mind that FTP is NOT secure protocol – your credentials will be sent to server as clear text!

If you need secure backup I suggest you take a look at AutoConfigBackup package or set up encrypted VPN between your pfSense box and ftp backup server.

Installation

Modify /etc/inc/globals.inc of your pfSense box and change the line

“xmlrpcbaseurl” => “www.pfsense.com”
to
“xmlrpcbaseurl” => “www.simpa.ba”.

Go to http://your.pfSense.box/pkg_mgr.php and install FtpBackup package.

You can also grab zipped package here.
