Oxidized is a free tool that automatically backs up network device configurations from over 130 device types, replacing older tools like RANCID. It runs efficiently by adjusting how many tasks it uses based on your setup and offers a web API to manage backups and see changes. It can track who made changes using syslog and integrates with Git to show detailed version history. You can install it on many systems, configure it easily with YAML files, and use various sources and outputs for flexibility. This helps you keep your network device settings safe, organized, and easy to review or restore when needed.
