[rancid] Re: Question about retaining multiple versions of Cisco configs

[Mike Ashcraft]

Rancid stores configurations in CVS (or SVN if you configure it to do so).  This facilitates accessing the configuration from any time period, including the last 3 revisions, up to the amount of disk space you are willing to allocate for storage.

Read up on how to use CVS to checkout and compare any current or previous configuration for each device.

Subject: [rancid] Question about retaining multiple versions of Cisco configs

Hello, 

We are currently on the verge of deploying RANCID as a production 
system.  Is there a way to retain a number of last good configs in the 
../rancid/var/<netname>/configs directory?  Currently it retains a 
single config which I assume is overwritten when a change is observed.  
We would like to retain the last 3 revisions.

Regards
Stephen
