Meraki Backup makes network changes traceable—and restores reviewable
A self-hosted tool for snapshotting Cisco Meraki configurations, comparing changes, and preparing restores.
- For
- Cisco Meraki network admins and managed service providers
- Worth noticing
- Each snapshot records coverage in `_coverage.json`, distinguishing captured, not-applicable, skipped, and failed endpoints.
Field notes
The workflow uses the Meraki Dashboard API without network agents: operators supply an API key, run organization snapshots, compare two snapshots, and inspect a restore plan before applying it. The page says snapshots are plain JSON and records coverage in `_coverage.json`, including captured, not-applicable, skipped, and failed endpoints. It also describes replacing several secret values with salted hashes and keeping concurrent requests below Meraki’s stated limit of 10 requests per second.
