Archiving junos configurations

There is a very handy feature in junos which you may find very useful if you have lots of junos
devices. JunOS can send your active configuration after every commit to a configured remote
destination server by using scp,http or ftp protocols. A small configuration is sufficient to achieve
this. For example with the configuration below, my SRX devices configuration is sent to
192.168.103.20 within the specified interval.
[edit system archival]
user@srx100-1# show
configuration {
transfer-interval 15;

If you list the files on the remote server you will see the files transferred after commit;
