Backup-Disaster-Recovery

heyy guys!!!
In this post i will be showing you how to take Backup of Startup Configuration of a router and Restore it to another router .
So, for this first of all what you need is a TFTP server (Trivial File Transfer Protocol Server) in your network (having an IP adsress).
now follow these steps to copy your Startup configuration file to the TFTP server.
Router#copy running-config tftp:
Address or name of remote host []? 64.104.207.171
Destination filename [ce_2-confg]? backup_cfg_for_my_router
!!
1030 bytes copied in 2.489 secs (395 bytes/sec)
Router#
now after this .. open the file from your TFTP server in any text editor and remove the lines that starts with AAA, these are to remove security that exists.
once you have completed this step your Backup is completed.
Now you have to install that startup config file to the new router. Just follow these steps in the new router.
Router_new#copy tftp: running-config
Address or name of remote host []? 64.104.207.171
Source filename []? backup_cfg_for_my_router
Destination filename [running-config]?
Accessing tftp://10.66.64.10/backup_cfg_for_my_router...
Loading backup_cfg_for_router from 64.104.207.171 (via FastEthernet0/0): !
[OK - 1030 bytes]

1030 bytes copied in 9.612 secs (107 bytes/sec)
Router#
Done!!!!!!
