Up to five backup configuration files are supported on the device.
The location of a file system dictates the format of the source or destination URL.
The entire copying process may take several minutes and differs from protocol to protocol and from network to
network.
*.prv and *.sys files cannot be copied.
Understanding Invalid Combinations of Source and Destination
Some invalid combinations of source and destination exist. Specifically, you cannot copy if one of the following
conditions exist:
The source file and destination file are the same file.
xmodem: is the destination file. The source file can be copied to image, boot and null: only.
tftp:// is the source file and destination file on the same copy.
The following table describes copy characters:
Copying an Image File from a Server to Flash Memory
To copy an image file from a server to flash memory, use the copy source-url image command.
Copying a Boot File from a Server to Flash Memory
To copy a boot file from a server to flash memory, enter the copy source-url boot command.
Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Running Configuration File
To load a configuration file from a network server to the running configuration file of the device, enter the copy
source-url running-config command. The commands in the loaded configuration file are added to those in the
running configuration file as if the commands were typed in the command-line interface (CLI). Thus, the resulting
configuration file is a combination of the previous running configuration and the loaded configuration files with the
loaded configuration file taking precedence.
Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Startup Configuration
To copy a configuration file from a network server to the startup configuration file of the device, enter copy source-
url startup-config. The startup configuration file is replaced by the copied configuration file.
Storing the Running or Startup Configuration on a Server
Use the copy running-config destination-url command to copy the current configuration file to a network server
using TFTP. Use the copy startup-config destination-url command to copy the startup configuration file to a
network server.
Saving the Running Configuration to the Startup Configuration
To copy the running configuration to the startup configuration file, enter the copy running-config startup-config
command.
Backing up the Running or Startup Configuration to a Backup Configuration File
