topic Automate FWSM Backup in Network Security https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/automate-fwsm-backup/m-p/1106264#M878321 <P>I am looking for method to automate backing up FWSM configuration. Our FWSMs have more than four contexts and I am looking for backing up all of them. Although I have read old posts on this in netpro but couldn't come on some concrete conclusion and at the sametime I don't see Cisco recommendation on this. Any thoughts?</P> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 14:30:31 GMT yagnesh_tel 2019-03-11T14:30:31Z Automate FWSM Backup https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/automate-fwsm-backup/m-p/1106264#M878321 <P>I am looking for method to automate backing up FWSM configuration.

I know it's good freeware but I doubt if it can pull off configuration from FWSM context itself. Have you tried to configure it thatway? </P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 30 Dec 2008 16:22:44 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/automate-fwsm-backup/m-p/1106266#M878324 yagnesh_tel 2008-12-30T16:22:44Z Re: Automate FWSM Backup https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/automate-fwsm-backup/m-p/1106267#M878327 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Remember RANCID is a freeware and the code is </P><P>written in Expect.
