If you run an important server such as web server you should of course take regular off site backups. Now everyone knows that backups are a total pain to do manually and more often than not get forgotten. However, using linux cron you can automate this task easily and be more confident of your ability to recover should anything go wrong with your server and you need to restore. If you have a decent connection speed at your home or office you can program a QNAP 109 NAS (network attached storage) to take care of this important task for you.

If you need to backup your network device's (you know Cisco, HP etc) running configuration, one of the most common ways to do this is via a TFTP server. There are various tftp solutions out there and this guide covers setting up a centos box on how to become a tftp server. There a few guides out there already but this one covers Centos 5 Linux specifically.

Step 1.
You need to install the tftp-server service and the xinetd service software using yum.
The xinetd service is required as this controls the tftp server daemon.
