copy
switch# copy samplefile mystorage/samplefile
If the current directory is slot0:mydir, this command copies slot0:mydir/samplefile to
slot0:mydir/mystorage/samplefile.
The following example downloads a configuration file from an external CompactFlash to the running
configuration.
switch copy slot0:dns-config.cfg system:running-config
The following example saves a running configuration file to an external CompactFlash.
switch# copy system:running-config slot0:dns-config.cfg
The following example saves a startup configuration file to an external CompactFlash.
switch# copy system:startup-config slot0:dns-config.cfg
The following example uses CFS to cause all switches in the fabric to copy their running configuration
(source) file to their startup configuration (destination) file.
switch# copy running-config startup-config fabric

switch#
Note If any remote switch fails to complete the copy running-config startup-config fabric process, the
initiator switch also does not complete saving its startup-configuration. This means, both the remote
switch and the initiator switch have failed to save their startup-configuration (the old
startup-configuration reverts back). All the other switches in the network would have succeeded.
The following example creates a backup copy of the binary configuration.
switch# copy nvram:startup-config nvram:snapshot-config
The following example copies an image in bootflash on the active supervisor to the bootflash on the
standby supervisor.
switch# copy bootflash:myimage bootflash://sup-2/myimage
The following example creates a running configuration copy in bootflash.
switch# copy system:running-config bootflash:my-config
The following examples creates a startup configuration copy in bootflash.
switch# copy nvram:startup-config bootflash:my-config
