The switch itself does not have the ability to schedule backups. There are applications that can schedule config backups. One example is OpenManage Network Manager. Here is a video demonstrating the process of scheduling config backups. [URL] Some people have also had success with automating some of the process by using expect. [URL] [URL]  
Hi all, I have an stack of 3 5548's and i was wondering if there is any way to make an automated backup of the config..? Just having a script running in some kind of schedule to copy the config over to a permanent installed USB stick would be enough. We have several network admins, and they "forget" to copy the config now and then. Anyone done anything similar? Is it possible to pull the config from SNMP?   CheersReidar
