It has been several years since I've used either but I think rancid will email you about errors. OpenNMS is very configurable and will notify you about all kinds of things. I used it very extensively, but again it was several years ago - I'm retired now. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/

I was just looking at both of them. Do you know if either of them support any type of alerting or reporting? One of the key features I was looking for was notification if a config backup failed. I was just looking (from the rancid wikipedia page) it looks like OpenNMS, and LibreNMS use it in some manner. Thanks for your most excellent suggestions.

If it is not worth setting up a separate backup/management system like rancid or oxidized (https://nsrc.org/workshops/2020/apricot/nmm/netmgmt/en/rancid/config-management-rancid.pdf) you could simply have a cron job pull copies nightly into a directory somewhere to be included in your other backups. If other people edit them or there are frequent changes I recommend pushing them into subversion or cvs (perhaps editing out any timestamps inserted by the retrieval process so only 'real' changes will show as a new commit with differences) and having a viewvc wrapper to make the changes easy to spot. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
