You can always download it from CCO
http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/sw-ios.shtml
If you want to get it from your router, have a TFTP server running and use the following commands
Router#dir
Directory of flash:/
1 -rw- 9884244
2 -rw- 5102488
16252928 bytes total (1266068 bytes free)
Router#copy flash: tftp:
Source filename []? c2600-is-mz.120-22.bin
Address or name of remote host []? 172.26.108.26
Destination filename [c2600-is-mz.120-22.bin]?

Can I make it using XMODEM protocol 'cos I'd not like to use TFTP? Thx.

No..You cannot use XMODEM. XMODEM is used to install software on to the router if it looses it's IOS image. What is wrong with TFTP? You can dowload a TFTP server for free from

If you have a newer version of IOS, > 12.0 I think, you should be able to use ftp instead of tftp.
conf t
ip ftp username yourftpusername
ip ftp password yousecretpassword
exit
copy locationofios:iosname ftp:
