Config backups

A device configuration is its source of truth. LinkOPS snapshots each device on a schedule, keeps a version history, and shows a line-level diff between any two snapshots — so a bad change is always visible and recoverable.

1. 1Open Config Backups in the sidebar.
2. 2Enable “Automatic config backup” in the device editor. The global interval and retention live in Settings → Config backup (default: every 24 hours, keep the latest 30 per device).
3. 3The backup command is chosen automatically from the vendor — Cisco “show running-config”, Huawei “display current-configuration”, Juniper “show configuration”, MikroTik “/export” and more.
4. 4Click “Run now” to snapshot a device on demand. Unchanged configurations are skipped (dedup), so quiet devices do not fill the history.
5. 5Select two snapshots to see a line-level diff (+ added / − removed), and copy or download any snapshot.
