CloudflareBackup

A Windows script to create Cloudflare configuration backups using curl.

Prepare the script

1. Create a folder for your backups
2. Download the batch file to the new folder
3. Updated the batch file as required (*)

To run this script via File Explorer

1. Browse to the backup folder
2. Double-click the batch file

To run this script via Command Prompt

1. Open the command prompt
2. Navigate to the backup folder
3. Execute the script

Output structure

1. The folder name convention will be
   • Backup root (where you drop the script)
     • Backup root\Domain
       • Backup root\Domain\YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
     • Backup root\account (for Load Balancer Pools)

Comments

1. This is not a full backup, as most account settings are not being copied
2. This script was tested with Free and Pro zones in the same account

(*) Updating the batch file

1. Find the following items to replace:
   • [REPLACE WITH YOUR CLOUDFLARE LOGIN EMAIL]: Enter your Cloudflare login email
   • [REPLACE WITH YOUR API KEY]: Enter an API key with Read rights to all zones
2. For each Zone you want to create a backup for:
   • Update the line ZoneID#, Domain#
     • The sample script has nine zones ZoneID1 ... ZoneID9 and corresponding Domain1 ... Domain9
     • You can remove pairs if you have less than nine zones
     • You can add pairs if you have more than nine zones, remembering to name the pair correctly with the sequential numbers
     • If you add or remove pairs, adjust the "for /L %%i in (1,1,9) do (" statement replacing 9 with the correct number of pairs
   • [REPLACE WITH ZONE ID TO BACKUP]: Enter the Zone ID
   • [REPLACE WITH DOMAIN NAME FOR THIS ZONE]: Enter the domain name to be used as a sub-folder
3. Load Balancer pools are copied from account, so these need to be manually updated, with the correct Load Balance Pool
   • If you don't use Load Balancers you can remove the commands between the comments :: Backup account level data and :: End Backup account level data
