A comprehensive monitoring system that includes Rancid is the best way to go.

As best i can tell, if you do backup to a backup file, that can only be restored to the same device, or am I misunderstanding that? I thought the dude could pull backups, but Im not seeing it anywhere in documentation I dont mind a combination of text config for reference and full backup file. In all likely hood a disaster restore would go to the same model, I just dont want the backup file restoring the original device MAC addresses We have a linux backup server that pulls backups from fortigates and imagestreams, but its a cumbersome process that I dont really monitor anymore -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
