admin In this post i will show you how to backup you Cisco configuration.
Follow these simple steps to backup your config:
1. Download your favorit TFTP Server (mine is TFTPD32 and its free).
2. log into you Cisco device and type in the following command (in enable mode):
copy run tftp
Than you will be prompted with a few questions (here is a sample backup process):
Iswitch(config)#exit
Iswitch#copy run tftp
Address or name of remote host []? x.x.x.x.x -------------> inset here the IP address of your TFTP Server
Destination filename [iswitch]? backup-file-name ------------> enter a name for the backup file to be

7791 bytes copied in 3.136 secs (2484 bytes/sec)
Iswitch01#
That is it, you have backed up your config :)
If the occasion calls and you need to restore your file, all you have to do is use the following command:
copy tftp start -----will restore the backup file to your start up config (a reload in required for the config to take effect).
or you may type:
copy tftp run
Which will make the config copy on-top of the running config.
That is it, you are good to go.
