Hi All,
I was reading through the lists trying to find out how to backup my M1122
config to my PC and found nothing. I did however find people requesting how
to do this, so I thought I would post my way of backing up the image and
startup file so others could learn and remind me in the future if I forget
:)

NOTE: Any commands required to be typed will shown inside these '. You do
not need to type the ' when entering the commands. For example, dir NOT
'dir'.
With that over,

1/ Start a TFTP server on your PC. You can use something like TFTP32
available at http://membres.tripod.fr/phjounin/P_tftpd32.htm. This is
freeware and works a treat. I put it in c:\tftp. I also made a change to
the settings (Settings button on the main page, down the bottom, in the
middle) - I changed the Security to None and the Base Directory to C:\
2/ Telnet to your M1122 from your PC. For example, from a DOS prompt:
'telnet 192.168.1.1' (enter the required admin login-id, password to get in)
3/ At the telnet prompt, type 'copy startup.cfg
tftp:/192.168.1.100/tftp/startup.cfg'. 192.168.1.100 is the IP address of
the machine that the tftp server is running on and tftp (relates to c:\tftp
on the PC) is the directory where I temporarily store the files.
You will get something like this:
blocks transmitted 2
transfer status SUCCESSFUL
4/ Repeat step 3 for any other files that you wish to copy IE: image.exe -
'copy image.exe tftp:/192.168.1.100/tftp/image.exe'
5/ Type 'logout' when you've finished to close the telnet session.

Hope this serves as useable. Comments/A better way of doing this/Criticism,
welcome.

Cheers
Glen
