HPE OneView backup using a scripting language

You can create and download an appliance backup file automatically using PowerShell script to work with REST API calls.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends daily backups.

You can schedule the backup script to run automatically in either an interactive mode or a batch mode on a regular basis. To interactively run the script, you must have Backup administrator or Infrastructure administrator privileges.

In an interactive mode, the script prompts you to enter the appliance host name, user name, password, and the name of a file to store these parameters for batch mode executions. The user name and password are stored encrypted.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you run the script interactively for the first time. Subsequently, you can schedule the script to run automatically in the background using the parameter file created during the first-time execution.
