Sauvegarder et restaurer

This feature backs up the entire configuration of your server enabling you to recover rapidly from a major system failure or to reconfigure a new server easily.

First of all, get to the configuration file by clicking the "Backup" button. A file containing the entire configuration file appears. It is highly recommended to make regular back-ups of this file on a floppy disk which should be stored in a secure place.

WARNING: This backup will only contain the parameters handled by the web interface. If modifications were made to some files by other means, e.g. the secure shell connection, those specific files will have to be backed up manually.


The second part restores the backed-up configuration. Click on the "Choose" button. A navigation window will be displayed where you can select the local copy of the configuration file to be restored on the firewall.

Choisir le fichier de configuration /mnt/floppy/ConfigurationBackup

When done, click the "Upload" button. A confirmation page appears where the "Apply" option will enable you to activate the chosen configuration.
