unifi-backup-migration

unifi-backup-migration is a skill for Claude Code from mikeholownych/unifi-mcp. It costs 37 tokens per session (502 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for backing up UniFi Network settings and moving them to another console. It explains which configuration data is included and which history or UniFi Protect recordings are separate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before replacing a gateway or controller, when checking whether recent backups exist, or when recovering a failed console. It covers creating, downloading, checking, and restoring .unf files.
Why use it?
It prevents relying on a backup stored only on a failing device and reduces version-compatibility surprises during a replacement.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

unifi-backup-migration scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

UniFi Backup & Migration

Protect the configuration investment: verify backups exist, create them, understand what they contain, and move between consoles without surprises.

What a Network backup contains (and what it doesn't)

  • ✅ Sites, networks/VLANs, WLANs, firewall policies/groups, port profiles, device provisioning data, admin list, hotspot config.
  • ❌ Time-series statistics/history beyond short retention, UniFi Protect recordings (Protect has its OWN backup/restore path), client history depth varies. Say this explicitly when someone asks for "a full backup".

Check & create (UI-driven; no MCP backup tool)

  1. UI path: Settings → System → Backups → Create Backup (choose to include statistics only if explicitly wanted — large files).
  2. Verify recency: the UI lists existing backups w/ timestamps. If none within ~30 days, make one now.
  3. Download the .unf file OFF the console to another disk — a backup stored only on the dying box is not a backup.

Migration rules of thumb

  • Target console should run the same or newer Network application major version as the export; cross-version restores fail or degrade silently.
  • Same-model swap: restore → adopt devices → done (devices re-appear because provisioning info travels).
  • Different site/controller: devices must be re-adopted; SSH adoption or the "Set Inform" step may be needed — expect it, don't panic when APs show pending.
  • Protect/NVR: migrate separately via Protect's own backup or disk moves.

Pre-migration snapshot (use MCP while it's still up)

Save get_networks, get_wlans, get_firewall_policies, list_devices JSON to ./unifi-backups/<date>-pre-migration.json — invaluable if zone/policy mapping gets lost in translation.

Constraints

  • Never store credentials in exported files shared with others (.unf contains config, but treat it as sensitive).
  • Confirm-gate any destructive step during recovery discussions.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
