There seems to be a better way to do it in IOS that will not reload the router:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t7/feature/guide/gtrollbk.html

I haven't tried it since all my gear has OOB serial mgmt but it appears to let you rollback a config after a set time 
without a reboot.  It still doesn't seem to be as nice as JUNOS rollback.



The problem is, it doesn't seem to support an automated rollback function. You'd need OOB to get access in many cases to do the rollback.
