In the past I had a Perl script that would make SNMP calls from a server authorized for SNMP read/write access to handle the download much like you used your expect script... Jeremy T. Bouse Ulf Zimmermann was said to been seen saying:
A while back when I was at SGI, I wrote my own scripts, using expect and tftp to backup configurations of Cisco routers. Configs then were put into rcs. Now before I am resurecting those scripts again for my current job, what are people using to backup equipment, things such as Cisco routers (26xx, 36xx, 72xx, 75xx, MSFC, RSM) and Cisco Catalyst switches (2924XL, 3548XL, 4000, 5000, 6500) ?
What I am trying to archive is at least a daily backup, with again some version control to be able what changed between days.
