Hello Folks,
We have around 1200-1500 cisco 2821 series routers on those we are performing the hardware upgrade so we are taking the backup of all the files available in the flash of all the routers, we just want to know is there any trusted tool available to make this task easy to schedule and take the backups.
Please let me know if you know any tool name.
Thanks,
Raja.

Sorry, I don't know any tool that makes a backup of the whole flash...
You could fo it with from ios cli maybe execute it automatically...
To flash:
archive tar /create flash:/backup.tar flash:/
copying directly to ftp should also work:
archive tar /create ftp://test:test@10.0.0.1/backup.tar flash:/

There are some 3rd party tools that make scripting such jobs very easy, I've used kiwi tools

before for similar tasks as well as others such as bulk updates and it does the job very well.
