Parameters

`filename`	Specifies the file name of the new image.
`number`	Specifies an ordinal image number returned by the show upgrade command
`ftp`	Specifies ftp server on which the upgrade image is uploaded. This ftp server is set by upgrade_image_src command.
bckto local	Backs up the existing operating system of the controller to the local drive. The bckto local command is supported only on the platforms that support local storage.
bckto ftp	Backs up the existing operating system of the controller to the remote FTP server. The FTP server is set by the upgrade_backup_dest command.
bckto flash `filename`	Backs up the existing operating system of the controller to the external flash.

If you use the bckto ftp option in the syntax, you must first set the settings of the ftp server, where the existing os image will be backed up, by running the upgrade_backup_dest command. For more information, see upgrade_backup_dest.
If you use the ftp option in the syntax, you must first specify the details of the ftp server, where the new image is located, by running the upgrade_image_src command. For more information, see upgrade_image_src.
