Using Archive, Kron and SCP to protect your configs

Ok this little script will create a directory in flash, use the archive feature to archive everytime you copy the running-config to startup-config, then daily at 10pm commit a wr, which in turn archives it at flash:/Config-archive/ and then, every day at 11pm copies the config to a remote windows box running an SCP server.

Mkdir flash:/Config-Archive
