You mean you want your availability monitor to backup your router
configs ?

You could write a custom plugin to check for differences in runnin and
startup configs and then do something with the running config; You could
pay for CiscoWorks and sacrifice small furry animals until it runs; or
you could try RANCID in conjunction with viewcvs (PHP application to
publish the CVS).

Have fun.
