That is, if you just need a most recent copy of the configuration files then you could use tftp, ftp or scp to move the file off the router to the server. If you want to have a set of diffs indicating what changes were made when, plus have the ability to select from multiple revisions should you have to revert, then Rancid is definitely the way to go.
