2. Configuration Script Backup & Comparison: Router, switch and firewall configuration scripts, both ‘Startup’ and ‘Running’ can be saved by UVexplorer into the SQLite db or on to another device. UVexplorer can compare configurations and provide email notification of any changes. The differences are also highlighted in UVexplorer.
