Backing up Static Routes

[neilronaldson]

ok so on a windows machine you create a static route via this command :

route -p ADD 10.10.10.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.12 (just an example)

we have a server with HUNDREDS and THOUSANDS of these static routes.

Where and how do you make sure ALL these static routes are BACKED UP - is it in your windows backup under system files?

Anybody?

Thanks

I think you should ask why you have thousands of routes on a windows server?
Surely there is a better way to do things

Route print > routes.txt

When done, edit the file and the pertinent section is under "Persistent Routes" and can be imported into excel

Method 2 :

Registry has this under hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip\parameters\persistantroutes

You can export using regedit in the ui or using the "reg export" command

This^ too. There must be a better way of doing your routing. Get a decent router

Thanks i found it, its a monitoring box of all our links, but i found the solution
thanks

It keeps it in the registry so a system backup will backup the registry - sorted
I like the route print > file.txt - also a quick and easy way!

Thanks!

Seriously? A server with hundreds of thousands of routes?! This needs a serious looking at. Why?!

This should be the job of a router.
