[rancid] Re: Got Rancid working, now what?

[Todd Heide]

OH, so that is why I only saw one. Hmm, that kinda defeats the purpose
for me. Place I worked for before used a similar system that made
versions of the configurations in case someone fat fingered something,
we could rollback, I was looking to do that with Rancid. 

Thanks

You set the time to poll based on a cron job.  Once RANCID see's a
change it applies it to CVS and overwrights the old config.  I don't
know where to change that but it does store the complete configs in
"/usr/local/rancid/var/routers/configs/"  So you could always have
something copy them out to another location after the RANCID run
happens.
