I use BackBox for automated configuration backup. What I like most is the simple automation of routine network tasks. Repetitive jobs like backup, audit, and check can be fully automated with minimal effort. It also solves the problem of manual configuration backups being error prone. The initial setup was fast.

We have been running through our large firewall fleet without a problem with the automated configuration backups. Restored failed network devices in just minutes from encrypted repository files. The ability to execute custom scripts helps to deploy critical security patches at once.

Automated backup verification engine verifies that all network configuration files are readable and uncorrupted. Our firewall parameters are checked periodically without affecting the running system. Our multi vendor infra has granular recovery options for disaster recovery scenarios, we appreciate that.
