network with 70 switches and routers

[Cook, Garry]

Have you looked at Rancid (www.shrubbery.net/rancid).

It does a beautiful job of archiving router and switch configs. 
- cvs storage
- email alerts with config diffs
- includes hardware version/serial
- includes non-default config
- does not need a tftp server (perl and expect)
- multivendor

I tend to hookup ViewCVS to the repository and it allows me to get context
diffs on all those acl lists

Just a thought...

I looked into using rancid, but that was over two years ago. For some reason it didn't work out for me, so I wrote a script that used snmpset to upload the configs. It's much cleaner than expect (which I was forced to use once we started adding HP switches to the network). The config diffs sound interesting though, as well as the multivendor support (Juniper perhaps?). I might just have to take another look. Thanks for the heads up.
