Hi all
Any experienced Rancid users on here? Can you comment on it?
Ive put network backups on the back burner since last year. We had something like 26 cisco devices across the UK which i was backing up manually every so often, honestly I never gave it too much thought due to lack of experience. Now were looking after the entire global network infrastructure theres almost 100 Cisco devices world wide - a growing number too. So ive got to setup automated backups.
I was going to use Archive with a Kron schedule for routers and switches pointed to our syslog server via FTP (this is running on a switch currently and works) and for the ASA's I was hoping Call Home would work via FTP (Not looked into this yet) so that might suffice.
But across the Cisco forums and other places ive read about Rancid. I get the impression that with it being linux itll be fairly powerful and it wont just be cisco stuff it can do. So a potential solution.....
Do you rate it? I can clone Centos server and have a play with it easily so wouldnt be too much of an issue...
