Copying Configuration Files Between Flash Memory File Systems
On platforms with multiple flash memory file systems, you can copy files from one flash memory file system,
such as internal flash memory to another flash memory file system. Copying files to different flash memory
file systems lets you create backup copies of working configurations and duplicate configurations for other
devices. To copy a configuration file between flash memory file systems, use the following commands in
EXEC mode:
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
enable
2.
show source-filesystem
:
3.
copy source-filesystem
: [
partition-number:
][
filename
]
dest-filesystem:
[
partition-number:
][
filename
]
DETAILED STEPS

• Enter your password if prompted.
Device> enable
Displays the layout and contents of flash memory to verify
the filename.

Step 2
Device# show flash:
Copies a configuration file between flash memory devices.
copy source-filesystem
: [
partition-number:
][
filename
]
dest-filesystem:
[
partition-number:
][
filename
]
Step 3
• The source device and the destination device cannot
be the same. For example, the
copy usbflash0:
usbflash0:
command is invalid.
Example:
Device# copy flash: usbflash0:
Example
The following example copies the file named running-config from partition 1 on internal flash memory
to partition 1 of usbflash0 on a device. In this example, the source partition is not specified, so the
device prompts for the partition number:
Device#
copy flash: usbflash0:
