ClearPass has a built-in automatic backup system, with auto-deletion and the option to push the backup to an external server (SCP/SFTP/NFS from the top of my head).
Configuration comparison will be hard because there is a lot of things changing in the ClearPass databases. You could use the Audit logs (and optionally send it to an external syslog server) to see individual changes by admin user id to the configuration and store/audit those.

Subject: Solarwinds NCM Auto-Backup ClearPass Configuration
Hi All,
Customer looking for a solution to integrate CPPM with Solarwinds NCM in terms of auto-backup, configuration comparison, and auto-deletion of old backup (sort of retention period).
Is this achievable or anyone done this before ?
Or is this can be done with help of API ?
For the configuration comparison, is there any more sophisticated solution out there ?
