Due to code.google.com closing it doors, the automated backup script pfsense-backups is moving to GitHub. The new location is https://github.com/hydrian/pfsense-backups. Please feel free to contribute.

Hi Hydrian,

I've created a simple one in PHP:

// set PHP execution limits
ini_set('max_execution_time', 60);
set_time_limit(0);

$startTime = time();

getPfsConfig("https://Your.URL.com:443", "YourUser", "YourPassWord");

$endTime = time();
echo "

Runtime: " . ($endTime - $startTime) . " Seconds";

/**********************************************************************************************************/

function getPfsConfig($Url, $User, $Pass) {
	// Basic Config
	$ch = curl_init();
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "");   // activate Session Cookies!

	// Login
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url . "/diag_backup.php");
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "usernamefld=" . $User . "&passwordfld=" . $Pass . "&login=Login");
	curl_exec($ch);

	// get the Config File XML
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "donotbackuprrd=yes&Submit=download");
	$cOut = curl_exec($ch);

	// Logout
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url . "/index.php?logout");
	curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);

	// Check if valid Config File
    $checkXml = @simplexml_load_string($cOut);

    if ($checkXml) {
		$rootPath = "data";
		preg_match('@^https?://?([^:]+)@i', $Url, $matches);
		$filePath = $rootPath . "/" . $matches[1] . "_" . date("Ymd-His") . ".xml";
		file_put_contents($filePath, $cOut);
		echo "Config File: " . $filePath . " saved.";
    } else {
		echo "No valid XML file received!";
	}
}
?>

Just copy the code to a file on a directory on any PHP capable server with cURL extension, create a subdirectory "data" with write permissions and edit URL and credetials.
You then can run it by directly calling the file, or putting it in a cron job.

Everyone feel free to use it.
Any corrections and suggestions are welcome!

Cheers,
