Don't forget to check flash too - I tend to make backup copies of the 
config on a device to flash cards on a regular basis to aid recovery 
should it ever be required. (Just copy the config from the flash to 
startup-config and reload - that gets you basic connectivity and most 
stuff working and you can then update the rest from your latest RANCID 
backup.)
