I'm a little confused about this chapter regarding saving and restoring your startup-config file. The book says to backup your startup-config use a command like this:
copy startup-config flash:config.bak1
Restore it with this:
copy flash:config.bak1 startup-config
But then in the next section dealing with backing up to a TFTP server, the command goes like this:
copy nvram:startup-config tftp:[[[//location]/directory]/filename]
And it says the formal version of copying the running-config to startup-config is:
copy system:running-config flash:startup-config
So why does one save it to flash and one save it to nvram? I thought the actual startup-config was run out of nvram, but if that's the case why is the last command I showed have you save the running-config to flash (same place the first backup command)? Are they the same thing or what?
