/maint/backup
Backup Menu
The Backup Menu allows you to back up the firewall configuration and restore it later to the
same state.
The backup and restore feature is for a firewall only and not the cluster. To back up an entire
cluster, you must login to each firewall and create backups separately. You cannot create a
backup from one member of the cluster and use it to restore another member. A backup taken
from a firewall can be used only to restore that same firewall or a replacement for that firewall.
For more information about how to back up the firewall configuration, see
Backing Up a
Configuration on page 387
