I came across this in a post a while back. I have not tried it, but the
commands appear to work in my dynamips test router.
To get an IOS device to upload it's configuration periodically to an
external (T)FTP server try this
ip tftp source-interface loopback 0
file prompt quiet
!
kron policy-list backup
cli copy running-config tftp://10.20.30.40
!
kron occurrence daily-backup at 30:0:0 recurring
policy-list backup
The beauty of this example is that you can use it on platforms that don't
support Embedded Event Manager (which has a very similar cron functionality)
as the kron commands were introduced in 12.2T and 12.3 IOS releases.
Note: You have to use the file prompt quiet configuration command as the
commands executed by kron cannot supply any user input
If you want to use FTP instead, you would add the following commands for
authentication and change the method to ftp
ip ftp username ftp_username
ip ftp password ftp_password
HTH
