Using Afudos To Copy The Current Bios - Asus A7N8X-VM/400 User Manual

2.1.2 Using AFUDOS to copy the current BIOS

The AFUDOS.EXE utility can also be used to copy the current system BIOS
settings to a floppy or hard disk. The copy can be used as a backup in case the
system BIOS fails or gets corrupted.
1. At the DOS prompt, type the command line: afudos /o<filename>, then press
<Enter>.
The filename can be any user provided filename of not more than eight (8)
alpha-numeric characters for the main filename and three (3) alpha-numeric
characters for the extension name.
The BIOS information on the screen is for reference only. What you
see on your screen may not be exactly the same as shown.
