This also allows you to have a local set of the backups on a laptop with little to no effort and they are updated automatically. You can also commit updates to the router.db this way as well. 

At the end of the day, I just need to get the configs backed up and have a nice way to view them and diff them, Got a lot of options, so I think I’ll pick the web interface I like best, and then use the back end version control system that fits it best.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
