Backup Firmware before upgrade

I am new user and have not yet upgrade nor upload new firmware. I thus want to save the current configuration if something goes wrong. I install ArduinoAvr and got avrdude running.

However if I run
avrdude -pm2560 -n -v -c stk500v2 -Pcom7 -U flash:r:flash.bin:r''

it only says timeout. I did check and the the serial port is correct, and I can open it with hyperterm, putty etc

The standard USB is connected to the GT2560 board.

if I try
avrdude -pm2560 -n -v -c arduino -Pcom7 -U flash:r:flash.bin:r
I get sync error : 0x6e

I downloaded the software and could compile it in Ardruino..
Thanks for any comments

You should use Arduino 1.0.1 to upload the firmware
Please pay attention to choose the correct code
