Unable to backup image.bin in PIX

[jong_r0602]

Hi,

Im planning to delete the "downgrade.cfg and image.bin" in my router. Since in running out of flash mem so i can install asdm522 in my pix. Before deleting it, i just want to backup these files first. Im able to backup downgrade.cft but when im trying to save the image.bin in tftp server im always getting an error "%Error copying flash:/image.bin <Inappropriate file type or format> "

PIX#copy flash tftp

Source filename []? image.bin

Address name of remote host []? 192.168.4.4

Destination filename [image.bin]?

%Error copying flash:/image.bin <Inappropriate file type or format>

Is there a way to backup my previous PIX image before deleting it?

Thanks,

Jong

Yes, incase we need it. Actually we had a problem this week, our VPN connectivity becomes intermittent in both PIX. I dont know if there's a bug nn 7.2(2). ACL hit count does not incrementing also even if there's a traffic on it. I dont know what should i need to do now. Both PIX have the same symptoms. Appreciate your help

Thanks,

Jong

Well you need to post more details about the issue. If possible debugs also.

Don't worry too much about the ACL hits. Why don't you upgrade to the least version in the 7.2(X) train?
