NET Backup Vault

NET Backup Vault

Automated backup and recovery for Cisco Meraki Dashboard configurations. Protect, restore, and audit every change across your network.

App Details

Summary

NET Backup Vault is automated backup and recovery for the Cisco Meraki Dashboard. It captures versioned, encrypted snapshots of your organizations, networks, and devices, tracks every change, and restores any feature in minutes. Available as a hosted SaaS service and as a self-installable desktop application.

Description

Protect what runs your network with NET Backup Vault. It is built for the Cisco Meraki Dashboard, giving MSPs and IT teams a simple, reliable way to back up, track, and restore critical configurations before a mistake turns into downtime. Whether it is an accidental change or a deleted network, the app keeps a secure, versioned copy of your Meraki environment ready whenever you need it.

Instead of relying on manual exports or hoping the dashboard history is enough, it automatically captures scheduled snapshots of your organizations, networks, and device configurations, including VLANs, firewall rules, SSIDs, switch ports, device assignments, and more. Every change is tracked between versions, so you can quickly see what changed, when it changed, and who made the change.

All backups are protected with AES-256 encryption and immutable audit logs, giving you a clear historical record for compliance, troubleshooting, and customer reporting. When someone asks what a network looked like last week, you will have a real answer instead of a guess.

Built on top of the Meraki APIs, it provides scheduled backups, intelligent change detection, granular feature-level restores, and safe recovery with automatic rollback protection if a restore fails midway.

The result is a dependable safety net for your engineers, without the hassle of managing backup files manually or spending hours inside the dashboard.

Key Features

Full Meraki Configuration Backups

NET Backup Vault talks directly to the Meraki Dashboard API to pull full configurations for every Organization, Network, and Device you have access to. That data is hashed, versioned, and written into its own encrypted store as Backups, Versions, and per-feature snapshots.

  • Per-feature snapshots: VLANs, firewall rules, SSIDs, switch ports, device assignments
  • Restore any individual feature without touching unrelated configuration
  • Per-backup envelope encryption with a fresh DEK per backup, wrapped by a separate KEK

Smart Scheduling and Audit Logging

Backups can run on a custom cron, on a fixed interval, or only when the app detects an actual change in the dashboard. Every backup, restore, and login is written to an immutable audit log sealed with an integrity hash.

  • Custom cron, fixed interval, or change-triggered scheduling
  • Immutable audit logs with integrity hash for compliance and troubleshooting
  • Notifications via email, webhooks, Teams, or Slack per customer

Safe and Granular Restores

Pick a backup, choose the features you want to bring back, and it runs a pre-flight check against the live Meraki org before anything is touched. If anything fails during the restore, the atomic restore engine rolls the network back to the snapshot it took at the start.

  • Pre-flight check validates state against the live Meraki org before any changes apply
  • Atomic restore engine: automatic rollback if a restore fails midway
  • Multi-key Meraki API support with per-user active key selection via X-Meraki-Key-Id
