Saving Configuration in a Text File
A variety of TFTP Server programs can be used by the host computer where the software
images and configuration files are located. The only information that is required by the TFTP
Server is the location of the file on the host computer’s file system.
It is recommended that the configuration be saved in an external text backup file. To write the
backup configuration file, use the command copy.
To view the copy command options type: copy ?
device-name#copy ?
