Well we have a couple of things. 1) CiscoWorks 2K. It will track configs for several revisions letting you do a side by side comparison. 2) a grunt. The lowest guy on the pole has to telnet to all our routers ( 120 or so ) and save the configs to their respective directory. This is done about every 3 months. 3) We also keep track of any changes made in a change control form. This should match the latest version of the config in ciscoworks. 4) I have the scripts, but have yet to review or test, for using snmpwalk on a linux box. I received them from someone on this list, and they have been slowly making their way to the top for review.
5) Search for kiwi softwares CAT tools. They will allow for the automated polling of configs. I have only used the demo, but it looks nice.

[7:46229] Out of curiosity, what do you use to schedule automated backups of your router / switch configs? Commercial application? Homegrown application? Trained monkey? How often are the configs backed up? How do you implement version control? I was talking with a guy the other day who maintains a fairly large corporate network (about 300 routers), and they don't backup the configs at all. They record the config when it's deployed and trust employees to update the records if they make a change. This got me wondering what others were doing.
