It embraces a huge number of the paradigms,... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

You didn't mention about brand of the switches, but majority of vendors is covered with Oxidized: https://github.com/ytti/oxidized Just configure it with git backend, and you have version control and device backups. Also, if you wish, there are bundled sone extra scripts that could report git changes via email. Source: about 1 year ago
