How to take backup config of n/w devices without using any tool..?

[Bhaskar Choudhary]

Hi,

Can any one tell me any methodology / procedure to take config backup of all network devices like Router, Switches, Firewall,Load Balancer etc.

on regular interval of time period wrt hostname and time.

As I found one method, below mention is one method to take backup config to tftp server but still am not sure about how configuration will save ..?

My basic requirment is config should save with hostname and resp date.

Can you suggest me any thing else...!!

Thanks in advance

Backup Configuration to a TFTP Server

This example is to save the running config to a TFTP server (10.1.1.1) every Sunday at 23:00:

Router(config)#kron policy-list Backup

         Router(config-kron-policy)#cli show run | redirect 
      tftp://10.1.1.1/test.cfg
         Router(config-kron-policy)#exit
         !
         Router(config)#kron occurrence Backup at 23:00 Sun recurring
         Router(config-kron-occurrence)#policy-list Backup

Hi,

you can also use the archive feature

Here is a sample Archive config that is set to save 10 configs that are gathered once per week to Flash: in a directory called CONFIGS, and saves them with the hostname and the timestamp

Router1#cd flash:

Router1#mkdir CONFIGS

Create directory filename [CONFIGS]?

Created dir flash:/CONFIGS

Router1#

Router1#config t

Router1(config)#archive

Router1(config-archive)#path flash:/CONFIGS/$h$t

Router1(config-archive)#write-memory

Router1(config-archive)#time-period 10080

Router1(config-archive)#maximum 10

Router1(config-archive)#end

Router1#
