If it's like Cisco stuff, try "write mem".

Ah, it is like Cisco, and Symbol wireless switches for that matter.

"copy running-config startup-config"

would be another way, it actually achieves the same thing.

running-config and startup-config are special cases, they aren't normal files. In our case the running config is gathered by asking all the daemons to report any non-standard configuration in real-time.

You can also copy the running-config and startup-config to separate files. Does Juniper support ftp for files? If so then you can

copy startup-config ftp://myftpserver.mycompany.com/switchnstatup-config.cfg

or something of the sort. But if the running config hasn't already been saved as the startup config then you must save both.
