Backup PIX image

Backup PIX image open original image

Hi,



I am trying to backup the image on my PIX 525. It is currently running version 6.3.



For some reason it will not accept the "copy flash tftp" command. I get the following output:



PIX # copy flash tftp Usage: copy capture: tftp:/// [pcap] copy http[s]://[:@][:]/



flash[:[image | pdm]] copy tftp[:[[//location][/pathname]]] flash[:[image | pdm]]



I am also unable to see the actual name of the image in flash:



PIX# show flash flash file system: version:3 magic:0x12345679 file 0: origin: 0 length:1941560 file 1: origin: 1966080 length:2080 file 2: origin: 0 length:0 file 3: origin: 2097152 length:3126944 file 4: origin: 0 length:0 file 5: origin:16646144 length:308



Any ideas would be very welcome,



Thanks,



Paul

I have just tried this but unfortunately it only lets me copy the config - not the image. I would like to take a backup of the current OS (PIX 6.3) and PDM before I update to version 7.

Any more ideas? Many thanks,

Unfortunately you can't. On Cisco PIX (at least on 6.x you can backup the config only.
