Use the save feature of the flasher. Use the "/?" switch to find out how.

i use the awdflasher , but when i try to backup the curant BIOS to a bin file , i either get an error saying "file not found" or the system just get stock and i have to reset...

what's the exact command line to backup the BIOS in awdflasher ?
