InfraRecorder VS RANCID

If you just want to make a simple backup, you can create an image file of your CDs and upload them to somewhere like the Internet Archive to preserve their content. There are various software capable of creating image files, including InfraRecorder and WinCDEmu. Here's a simple guide on how to create an ISO image file from a CD or DVD. Source: 11 months ago

There are many options that let users burn 4K content to DVD, such as BurnAware, DeepBurner Free, InfraRecorder for Windows, K3b for Linux, or DVDStyler for Mac. Source: over 1 year ago

InfraRecorder is a CD/DVD burning solution for Windows that offers a wide range of powerful features with an intuitive interface and Explorer integration. Allows you to create custom data, audio and mixed-mode projects and record them to physical discs (including dual-layer DVDs) as well as disc images.

A decade ago I worked for a shop that needed to routinely back up 100+ cisco switches and routers and refused to pay for solarwinds. I setup a light weight freebsd vm to run this open source software: https://shrubbery.net/rancid/ (Rancid: Really Awesome New Cisco config Differ) and set it to scrape all the equipment every 12 errors.

Anyways Rancid does support cvs, svn, and git. Though I have only used it with cvs. Basically what it does, is checks out the configuration, downloads the configuration with other information about the state of the device, commits the configurations(which only changed ones will be in the latest check-ins, and then it can send an email of the changes.

RANCID - Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ monitors a router's (or more generally a device's) configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc) and uses CVS (Concurrent Version System), Subversion or Git to maintain history of changes. Source: almost 2 years ago

If you want to use this as an opportunity to learn Ansible, or you don't want to add another tool to the stack, this is a fine use case. Otherwise, I would consider using either RANCID or Oxidized for configuration backup. Source: about 2 years ago

Before I knew about RANCiD (https://shrubbery.net/rancid), I wrote my own Perl application to telnet into a Foundry Networks switch and TFTP its configuration to my computer so I could back it up. At a future employer, I rewrote another coworkers Perl application that collected SNMP values from devices and did stuff with it (forget what all I did then). Source: about 2 years ago
