Application for making backups of configs

[rwamstutz]

does anyone know of a good application or tool (preferebly low cost) that can make backups of running configs and save them as a text file?

Kiwi Cat Tools is the cheapest I know (that's automated).

Hi,

try this open source tool (only for linux/unix/osX):

http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/

Very simple to configure, see this how-to:

The tool makes a simple telnet/ssh to the device to take the config.

Thomas
