Saving Backup Copies of Your New System Image and
Configuration
To aid file recovery and to minimize downtime in the event of file corruption, we recommend that you
save backup copies of the startup configuration file and the Cisco IOS software system image file on a
server.
Tip Do not erase any existing backup copies of your configuration and system image that you saved before
upgrading your system image. If you encounter serious problems using your new system image or startup
configuration, you can quickly revert to the previous working configuration and system image.
To save backup copies of the startup configuration file and the system image file, complete the following
steps.
