You would need to back it up to a TFTP server and you take it from there to where ever you want.
Any one please correct me if I am wrong.

An easy way to copy the running config is as follows:
If you are using Hyperterminal, go to Capture, then Transfer text. Start the transfer. (Insert floppy and browse to that location, name the file...)
From your Router prompt, type sh run, and spacebar through the config. Then go back up to Capture, and stop the transfer.
Viola! You've captured your running config to a floppy!

It should be noted that with this transfer method you cannot move the configuration file back to the router/switch without retyping it. This method only works well when you want to read the configuration file off the router. It is output for humans only.

Because you referenced a "backup", I cannot recommend the above recommendation. Download Cisco TFTP Server, install it, transfer the file, and be done with it.

I'm gonna make a guess here, as I've tried this in class and it did work, though if I get some details screwy, someone correct me ....show run, click 'n drag to highlight all text, right click copy , open floppy ,right click , paste. btw, this will work to paste back into the router from the floppy also. Just be sure to first delete the current config ,reload then paste from floppy, then do a 'copy run start'.

Or, you could just use TFTP and not have to worry about if it is going to work or not. Why is everyone so scared of TFTP?

Maybe, for whatever reason, he wanted it saved on a floppy or drive. It DOES work incidentally, as we load our configs from a desktop .txt file before each lab.

Really. I would have thought that there would have been some difficulty in switching between Priveledged user exec mode, global config mode, and interface config mode. The startup-config does not reference these changes.
Were they simple or complex configs?

..not sure what your referring too by 'difficulty in switching' exactly, but the configs are pretty basic, all the ports addreesses, telnet session passwords, etc, etc...maybe an access list or two...
