Backup all Cisco devices easy way?

can any of you tell me an easy way to mass backup all my con figs
on all my network cisco devices automatically/periodically and
is there a way to mass copy the con figs on my ASA5510 with its three
different context's?

This doesn't work with the ASA's but in my office, we back up all our IOS configs to a TFTP server. You can configure the switch and router to back up to a TFTP server everyday using a kron job.

If you work for a company, have them spring for CiscoWorks. CW does a great job of backing up everything we have in house except for our ACE modules. Handles ASA contexts, no issues.

You guys using the new ANM 4.1? Has a really nice feature for automated daily/weekly/monthly backups. Plus a few other cool changes.

Still running 3.2... which, as you know, has backup features (I use checkpoints a lot), but as a manual process. Didn't even know 4.1 was available. I have it downloading now.

Thanks for the pointer.

Kiwi Cattools does a great job as well (Windows)

I like that you don't have to allow inbound tftp to get the configs, but Kiwi logs on to the switch and does a "show run" and saves it for comparison to later versions.

edit: Also includes syslog server/snmp trap logging, tftp server.
