Script for backing up config file on Router or Switches.

[ROBERT TOGONON]

I wanted to backup the config files for our routers and switches at least once a week. Is there an easier way to do it on 30 routers? Or better yet, is there such a script that can do it? Thank you in advance to all.

Here's a link on how to do it for CatOS via SNMP:

The SNMP get/set commands can easily be wrapped up in a UNIX shell script.

For IOS devices you might also consider doing it using RSH/RCP or better SSH/SCP.
