Script used in this example can be found in this directory: Code Samples
In this example we create a script that does the following:
- Authenticate to the selected inventory group (Using CLI)
- execute set of commands
- Take a config backup & store it in S3
Run the script
python3.6 docs/Docs/Examples/sample-2.py -n task-1 --config ~/flexible_network.cfg --inventory user/hots --authenticate-group works --user orange --password cisco

Get the backup
Note: For any backup targets other than local you need to specify the configuration file. (which in this case contains the credentials for S3 APIs)
