Backup node configuration

I don't know if this is what Orv was hinting, one way would be

> for node in localnode thisnode thatnode; do
> ssh $node.local.mesh -l root -p 2222 sysupgrade -b - > /where/ever/sysupgrade-b-$node.tar.gz
> done

(with appropriate ssh keys, YMMV, etc)

However, there's no easy way to (auto-)provision a node with an existing backup as far as I know.

Well, yes ... but I usually forget to manually back up things, so I prefer to automate that
(and anyway, it is always better to take 1hr to automate something than 5sec to press a button :-) )

Are backups created via the GUI compatible with 'sysupgrade -b'?
The backup file seems to be a gzipped tar?

• creating the configbackup key pair (only once)
• installing the public key on the nodes, adding the nodes host keys to known_hosts (once per node)
