I am trying to backup Cisco routers and switches here in the office to a central server so those configs can be backup offsite. &nbsp;I have figured out how to automate the back and schedule the automated backup. &nbsp;My concern is with security aspects of the transfer from the routers and switches to the repository for theses files. &nbsp;I was planning on using Tftp64 as the server, but I cannot see any way to harden that program. &nbsp;Is there another way to download these files?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
