ASA automated schedule backup config to external server

[daniel.tanch]

Is there any way to do a automated schedule backup of config to external server via tftp or ftp? 

[Marius Gunnerud]

Depending on the ASA version you are running, you could set up an EEM script to send the output of more system:running-config to an ftp / tftp server.

A better option would be to setup a service like Rancid (which is free) on a linux PC / server and have it run backup operations for you.  You could also use Rancid to backup your other network devices too, if needed.

As Marius recommended, I suggest to run this on a management server which poll the config and save. You can offload these activities from ASA and let it focus on security.

Rancid is good tool. I am using solarwinds which has NCM module and manage configs which include backup jobs.
