Orion NCM Feature » Configuration Backup Scheduler


  • Schedule network configuration backups
  • Record network configurations for archival history
  • Easily view network configuration backups and history

One of the most popular features in Orion Network Configuration Manager (NCM) is the ability to automatically backup network device configurations. Configuration backups can be scheduled to run whenever you would like them to – whether that's everyday, every other Monday, or every two hours.

Orion NCM includes a default configuration backup job that can be run out-of-the-box. With just a few clicks, you can easily modify the job to customize it for your particular backup needs. Orion NCM also makes it easy to create your own job from scratch. Each job performs backups of network device configurations based on naming convention, machine type or other custom groups.

Orion NCM leverages the Windows® Task Scheduler to organize scheduled jobs. Every job created within Orion NCM can be viewed and modified within the application or from within the Windows Task Scheduler.

Configuration backups are not only stored in a relational database for archival history, but also as flat files in an intuitive folder structure that makes for easy viewing.

With Orion NCM's scheduled task feature, managing routers and other network devices has never been easier. Multiple users can view a summary of devices that are backed up or need to be backed up through Orion NCM’s web console.

"Price is also worth mentioning here. With availability in September, Orion Network Configuration Manager Version 5 will be available with prices starting at $2,495, which includes a year of maintenance. This base price is roughly twenty times less expensive than any of the mainstream NCCM solutions!"
