two.bin. other thing is say if i take the back up of
one.bin and then download two.bin on to the flash from the
tftp server then after downloading what steps has to be

Looks like

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/130/upgrade_index.shtml

will point you in the right direction. Scroll down to find the
hardware platform you're working with because not all work the same
way in this regard.

Good luck.

Use "show version" command on router to check which IOS is running and for
upgrade the ios
you have to give the commnad bootfile one.bin in router and reload so router
will get loaded with one.bin
IOS.
