How to make IOS backup for cisco switch 2960
 
047,

Caution For the download and upload algorithms to operate properly, do not rename image names.

------------------------------------------------

Uploading an Image File By Using TFTP
You can upload an image from the switch to a TFTP server. You can later download this image to the switch or to another switch of the same type.

Use the upload feature only if the web management pages associated with the embedded device manager have been installed with the existing image.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to upload an image to a TFTP server.

Basicly the command is -
archive upload-sw tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tar

It is a little different then normal backup of IOS on a router, here is a link to the instructions for 12.2 IOS -


I would read the whole section to get a complete understanding of what you are doing on the 2960.

Hope this helps!

Yeah---same for the 3750...kind of goofy. I tried to cd to the .tar file directory and extract the IOS from there, but...lol
