Another option is perl, you'll need some basic scripting knowledge, and
Net::Telnet, Net::Telnet::Cisco modules. Works on linux and windoz.

Subject: Re: Cisco configurations auto backups
Hey there,
If you're on a budget, then my suggestion would be to use netSNMP on
Linux. (http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/)
You can set up a cron job to run off twice a week and use snmp to get a
copy of the configs.
If you're posh - then you could use CiscoWorks to do it.
If you're not really into linux, then you could write a script in
"expect" (http://expect.nist.gov/ You can get a copy for windows).
These scripts can be written to log into your routers and give them the
command copy start tftp, etc, and then fill the all the relevant tftp
details too. The only thing I don't like about these scripts is that
you have to input passwords into it. However, you could set up a user
that can only use the "copy start/run tftp" command to minimise problems.
Personally, I use the Linux/netSNMP setup.
