ns4 is a configuration management tool which
allows the automated backup of just about anything, but it was designed for routers and switches. If you are able to log into it through a CLI, you can back it up. Commands are defined within a configuration file, and when they are executed, the output is sent to a series of FTP servers for archiving. As well as archiving configurations, it allows scripts to be run on nodes; this allows configurations to be applied en masse and allows conditional logic so different bits of scripts are
run on different nodes.

Changes:
Support for multi-hop proxy was introduced, which
allows you to chain multiple proxies together
before you attempt to login to the node.
Terminator support under proxy was introduced and
the user is allowed to specify the logout command
for the proxy and the node. Various bugfixes and
cosmetic cleanups were made.
