yuk must be difficult to get one single dime from a cisco config archiver :-)
more seriously, I prefer a 4 pages code I can comprehend and bend at my taste.
I totally agree. I'm using my own scripts (mostly shell scripts) for config backup (Cisco, Extreme and others) and only for config back-up. Archiving is done by real revision control software (SVN in my case) and diff is done by nice tools like websvn or any other common SVN client.
I would never use a proprietary tool like "MyConf" for configuration revision control and spend money on that. I simply don't have time to use different WebGUIs for each task in my network and periodically check all the those tools if they are working properly.
I can easily integrate the simple scripts into Nagios / Icinga and monitor the backups and changes.
I'm planning to check out gerty as it seems promising and look like a good approach to combine and centralize some serious tasks while keeping the modularity and customization options like monitoring integration, custom revision control, etc.
If anyone wants my scripts, just contact me. But it's just another "hack" with hardcodes stuff :-), perfectly doing its job though.
