Running-config is stored in different partition (hardware dependent).

The more command can view the contents of any file, not just the running configuration; see the command reference for more information.

@dzuba the output is mostly the same, you must use the "more system:running-config" to display encrypted keys, i.e. VPN Pre-Shared Keys, these are not displayed in cleartext when just running "show run" command.

in IOS

The more system:running-config command displays the same output as the show running-config command.

in ASA

When you view a configuration file that you have saved using the more command, tunnel-group passwords in the configuration file appear in clear text.
