One of my favorite things about m0n0wall (of the many) is the single XML config file. I have a couple of ideas for it:

* When backing up, it would be great to have the ability to choose the filename pattern from a couple of options, or a custom pattern, or the same name every time. I'd like to use SVN to store my configs and the current naming scheme makes that a tough one.

* Any thoughts about the ability to import sections of a config file? I realize that would be a bit of a pain, and offer the potential for catastrophe, but it might have some benefits for experts when migrating from one machine to another.

The recent post about a NAS got me thinking about the ability to connect to other servers behind the firewall to automatically backup the configuration. Might be helpful.

Just found this link for automatic backups of multiple m0n0walls on the m0n0.ch site:

Some info on automated backups in the docs too.
