Copying a File from a Flash Memory Card to System Flash Memory
You can copy files from a Flash memory card to system (onboard) Flash memory (for instance, when
restoring a backup). Follow these steps to copy a file from a Flash memory card to system Flash memory:
Step 1 Enter privileged EXEC mode:
Router> enable
Password:
<password>
Step 2 Enter the copy {slot0: | slot1:}[partition:filename] flash:[partition:filename] command. Replace
partition with the partition number and filename with the name of the file, for example:
Router# copy slot0:3:TESTFILE flash:2:TESTFILE2
System flash directory, partition 2:
File Length Name/status
1 68 TESTFILE
2 3399444 myfile
[3399640 bytes used, 794664 available, 4194304 total]
Verifying checksum for 'TESTFILE' (file # 1)... OK
Erase flash device before writing? [confirm] n
Note If you omit the partition and filename variables, you are prompted for them.
Step 3 Press Return or type y to erase the current contents of the partition, or enter n to save the contents. Then
confirm your selection:
Copy 'TESTFILE' from slot0: device
as 'TESTFILE2' into flash: device WITHOUT erase? [yes/no] y
!
[OK - 68/794664 bytes]
Flash device copy took 00:00:04 [hh:mm:ss]
Verifying checksum... OK (0x4ACD)
Copying a File Between Slots
This section describes how to copy a file from one Flash memory card to another Flash memory card in
the other slot.
Note The source and destination slots cannot be the same. For example, if the source file is on the card in
slot 0, you cannot copy the file to the same card in slot 0.
Follow these steps to copy a file between two slots:
Step 1 Enter privileged EXEC mode as follows:
Router> enable
Password:
<password>
Step 2 Insert the Flash memory card that contains the source file into the slot labeled 0.
Step 3 Insert a second Flash memory card into the slot labeled 1. This card does not have to be partitioned.
