copy system:running-config tftp:[[[//location]/directory]/filename]
copy nvram:startup-config tftp:[[[//location]/directory]/filename]
copy flash[n]:/directory/startup-config tftp:[[[//location]/directory]/filename]
You can only enter the flashn parameter (for example, flash3) on Catalyst 3750-E switches.
