I would also offer the following suggestion...
Using a free product like KIWI CATtools, you can take backups of the system config of up to 20 devices (free version), including the ASA, routers, and switches. It will take backups of the configs and store with e date stamp so you have some nice change control and historicals of the different configs.

then paste the output into notepad and save. You can also save your terminal session log with most terminal editors (Secure-CRT, TerraTerm. etc)

THis is the one I used.
Try the following from CLI

You need a tftp server!
