Pix 525 restore backup NOT FLASH image
Hi:
I'm trying to restore to the same box a backup of the config done using the write net command. When I try using the
copy tftp://192.168.1.66/runConfigBackup
it tells me NOT ENOUGH ARGUMENTS.
I have also tried the copy tftp running-config command but it returns the syntax of the command
copy tftp[:[[//location][/pathn ame]]] flash[:[image | pdm]]
I am not trying to restore a flash image just restore the backup of the config.
Any help showing the correct command syntax would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you.
If you backed it up with write net, restore it with config net
You forgot to tell where to copy the config to. You are missing the argument running-config:
copy tftp://192.168.1.66/runConfigBackup running-config
copy tftp://192.168.1.66/runConfigBackup running-config
And don't forget to do a
wr mem
afterwards!

Sorry, forget my post. Didn't read all of your question obviously.
This does not work?
#copy tftp running-config
Address or name of remote host []? 192.168.1.66
Source filename []? runConfigBackup
Destination filename [running-config]?

thank you both.
erniebeek: the configure net works but it merges both.
The Kirschi: it returns the syntax of the command.
I have played with both but I can't make it happen.
The reason why I want to replace the run-config and then write to mem is because I was reading ALL DENY statements should be above the permits and that is not currently the case.

This will copy the backup file to the running-config.
pix#copy tftp running-config
Address or name of remote host []? 10.0.0.1
Source filename []? backup_cfg_for_pix
Destination filename [running-config]?
Accessing tftp://10.66.64.10/backup_cfg_for_pix...

Thanks erniebeek. I thought my brain was getting thicker by the moment!

Am afraid so :-~
Oops didn't saw that.
Of course I don't mean your brain is getting thicker ;)
Just the command isn't working here.
