Sorry, I didn't quite make myself clear. I meant to suggest to the OP that if 
he wants a backup, he should back up the whole lot rather than just the latest 
router configs. Re-reading his question, it may be that he wants to back up 
RANCID's config, not that of the routers it has polled.

Yes, using CVSweb just fine here. If I could get lg.cgi working, it would be 
perfect!
