Best method to backup and restore to a pix 501

[gonavy36]

I use the write net to save off the config file.

If I try to cut and paste into a terminal window, I get errors after so many lines and I end up cutting and pastingthe config in sections.

If I try to use the send file in a terminal window, I get the same result as listed above.

If I try the copy tftp://{server} flash:image
I get No PIX image found in downloaded file.

So what is the best method and best practice?

Could this be the reason and solution for your problem?

That worked! I had to slow it up a bit, but I'd rather wait a few minutes for the entire config to get loaded correctly than to have it bombing out!
