Cisco Guru's! Need help with a CS-MARS

[JoLLyRoGer]

This is my first time setting up a MARS before. So far so good, I've got all my switches, routers and two ASA's communicating along with their IPS's. Here's the problem, I like to keep backup's of my config files and so far I've not found a good way to do this with the MARS.

It appears Cisco took a different approach to IOS this time. MARS appears to be running a Cisco-bastardized stripped out Linux forked from RedHat. The problem is it doesn't respond to a lot of typical IOS commands, even worse it dosn't respond to a lot of standard Linux commands either. This is a different animal indeed.

So....

How do I do the equivilant of a normal 'copy run tftp:' command and/or 'sho run/sho tech'.

Thanks!

is there not documentation for this somewhere? cisco usually has pretty thorough documentation for such things...also, google, really:

Good luck w/ it, and let us know how well it works...
We set up our MARS three years ago, but it simply couldn't keep up w/ everything we threw at it, and our SE admits it has a performance limitation.

I will. next thing I've got to do is spend some time tuning it. Right now the MARS apparently thinks my external asa context is trying to attack my ntp server. LOL
