To save the running config to the backup config file, the command that you need is:
copy running-config backup-config
Or if you wanted to save that config file in another location you can use the command:
copy running-config ftp://ipaddr/filepath/filename
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to let me know.
