O.K.

The command line versions are.

For M10/11's

1. upload "tftp server ip address" "[directory/]config_file" confirm
    I put directory in there because you can specify sub-directories with tftp.
For the example below I would use:
    upload 172.30.253.2 ADSL/213.692.61993201002 confirm
    "confirm" means you don't have to type yes in.

    To restore that file you type:
    download 172.30.253.2 ADSL/213.692.61993201002 confirm
    The dumb thing is that you will have to type yes this time.

2. The easiest way to make a backup is to telnet to the box and type the
following:
    conf
    define preference more 0
    script
    quit

    Now use your scrollback to copy and paste all the set commands into a text
document.
    If you need to restore the config telnet back to the box type conf and paste
it back.

For M(W)1122's

1. copy startup.cfg tftp:/"tftp server ip address"/"[directory/]config_file"
    (and you thought the first one was scary ;-))
    For the same file this translates to:
    copy startup.cfg tftp:/172.30.253.2/ADSL/213.692.61993201002

2. Again the easiest method is to telnet to the box and copy the config.
    show config running
    Copy this to a text file. The bad news is you can't just paste it back, you
will have to manually have to configure everything you want if you don't have a
tftp server to upload it with.
    copy tftp:/172.30.253.2/ADSL/213.692.61993201002 startup.cfg

Cheers,

Andrew
