Backing Up and Cloning Configurations

Overview
Remote Backup
You can back up the configuration to or from a remote FTP/TFTP/SCP/SFTP server using the
CLI interface (
/maint/backup/remote
). You can restore the configuration from a
remote FTP/TFTP/SCP/SFTP server using the
clone
command from the root login.
Clone Command
The backup–restore procedure can be used for cloning. On a fresh Firewall, you can use the
clone
command to restore the full configuration of a previous setup. The new Firewall is a
clone of the original and can replace the original Firewall in the network setup.
Local Backup
Using the CLI interface, you can perform a backup to the local Firewall. Backup automatically
happens on soft reboot or when you push a new policy. This backup is automatically used by
the system if there is a disk crash.
