Saving
a
Backup
and
Exporting
Settings
Before
beginning
the
update
process,
make
a
system
backup
on
your
SonicWall
appliance.
The
backup
feature
saves
a
copy
of
the
current
system
state,
firmware,
and
configuration
settings
on
your
SonicWall
security
appliance,
protecting
all
your
existing
settings
in
the
event
that
it
becomes
necessary
to
return
to
a
previous
configuration
state.
You
can
also
export
the
configuration
settings
(preferences)
to
a
file
on
your
local
management
station.
This
file
serves
as
an
external
backup
of
the
configuration
settings,
and
can
be
imported
back
into
the
SonicWall
security
appliance
if
it
is
necessary
to
reboot
the
firmware
with
factory
default
settings.
To
save
a
system
backup
on
your
appliance
and
export
configuration
settings:
1 On
the
System
>
Settings
page,
click
Create
Backup
.
SonicOS
takes
a
“snapshot”
of
your
current
system
state,
firmware,
and
configuration
settings,
and
makes
it
the
new
System
Backup
firmware
image.
Creating
a
new
backup
overwrites
the
existing
System
Backup
image,
if
any.
The
System
Backup
entry
is
displayed
in
the
Firmware
Management
table.
2 To
export
your
settings
to
a
local
file,
click
Export
Settings
.
A
popup
window
displays
the
name
of
the
saved
file.
3 In
the
popup
window,
click
Export
.
