switch config back up

[Mark182]

I have 65 switches across two sites (connected) I want to automaticity back up our switches config, I have a mixture of 2960’s, 3560’s and 3750’s. cisco (not that it matters). I have been recommended this, what do you guys use?

I would keep it simple without any third party software. Setup a FTFP server and setup a Kron job on each switch to copy the running config to the FTFP automatically.

 

This tells you how to setup the Kron job. Schedule commands with Cisco IOS' kron - TechRepublic
