Backing up a Old PIX 4.4 Software Image? Can you do it?

[nhesson]

I have a old PIX 515 with 4.4 Software Image that I would like to keep before I upgrade the PIX IOS on it. Can you backup the image file?

Thanks for your time.

No you can't. You can download a copy from Cisco though.

When you have an OS 5.0 or less, you need to enter monitor mode to upgrade. There is no copy command.

You can copy your config using the write net command.

To upgrade you can use this link:

Hope it helps.
