is there a product that will automatically back a switch configuration? I know you can force a backup with ncm. I want to make a repository of the network gear and have a daily backup of switches and routers.
Sure NCM

How do you set it to back up automatically?

After you have purchased NCM... then you can go to Home > Jobs... then 'Create new Job'. On the job creation, select 'Download Configs from Devices'. Ten all you have to do is set the parameters for which devices to backup and how often.
Thanks
How do you view or download the config? We haven't purchased it yet. I just want to be ahead of the game. I switched companies and havent used SW NCM in about 4 months. The screenshots helped me with refreshing the look
Once you have downloaded configs from your device, they will show up in a "Config List" widget. There is also a 'Configs' tab created as part of every node to access them.
I've done a daily config compare of my firewalls to publish a daily report each morning showing the before and after of all firewall changes the day before. It's a nice feature to have. You can compare configs of a device from any two config saves, or you can compare configs from two different devices.
Nice...does it keep multiple backup Incase one backup was bad. Or if you need an earlier backup?
I will have to collab with you to send the alerts in the changes. That sounds like it should be a standard with NCM backup option
I am creating a new job, selected "Download Configs from Devices" to do weekly backups on my switch configs but when I go to 'Choose Nodes'..I don't see any of my nodes that I have in NPM..am I missing something?
