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. License: Free for non-commercial use Changes: This release adds support for a null proxy, which removes the requirement of having to bounce through a proxy server if the node is directly reachable. It adds support for cartridge implied tags that are combined with the node defined tags, which allows vendor-specific tags. It also includes various bugfixes and cleanups.
