Re: Backing up config

Rancid is great, however I've had some situations where a program that I
just stumbled across, 'Pancho', turned out to be a much better fit (Lab
environment where i just had to pull, backup, push and reload many
routers with random test configurations).

Pancho uses SNMP with TFTP, so depending on your network setup it might
be a better or worse fit than RANCID.
