Network devices can be so reliable that we configure them once, and then forget that they exist. However, forgetting them is a really bad idea, since they require regular OS or firmware updates to patch vulnerabilities, and at some point, they will become unreliable and fail. If your device fails, do you have the configuration available to apply to its replacement? Are you sure the configuration that&rsquo;s in your archive or documentation is up to date? This post deals with automating backups from Netgear switches and Ubiquiti EdgeRouters (and possibly switches, if they run EdgeOS).
