🧠 Automating Aruba Instant On 1930 Config Backups

This project automates the painful, manual process of backing up configurations from Aruba Instant On 1930 switches — which only offer a Web GUI and no API or SSH access.

Originally built to save our teammate Joe Biden (not that one) from spending days clicking through 100+ switches every quarter. Now it's your turn to automate and reclaim your time.
