2.7.3. Restore to Factory Defaults

Backup and Restore using the WebUI
As an alternative to using SCP, the administrator can initiate a backup or restore of the configuration
or complete system directly through the WebUI. The example below illustrates how this is done.
Example 2.15. Performing a Complete System Backup
In this example we will backup the entire system on 12 December 2008.
Web Interface
1.
Go to Maintenance > Backup
2.
The Backup dialog will be shown
3.
Press the Backup configuration button
4.
A file dialog is shown - choose a directory for the created file
5.
Download of the backup file will then start
The same maintenance menu option can be used for restoring a previously created backup.
2.7.3. Restore to Factory Defaults
A restore to factory defaults can be applied so that it is possible to return to the original hardware
state that existed when the NetDefend Firewall was shipped by D-Link. When a restore is applied all
data such as the IDP and Anti-Virus databases are lost and must be reloaded.
Example 2.16. Complete Hardware Reset to Factory Defaults
Command-Line Interface
gw-world:/> reset -unit
Web Interface
1.
Go to Maintenance > Reset
2.
Select Restore the entire unit to factory defaults then confirm and wait for the restore to complete.
Reset Procedure for the NetDefend DFL-210, 260, 260E, 800, 860 and 860E
Note: Backups do not contain everything
Backups include only static information from the NetDefendOS configuration.
Dynamic information such as the DHCP server lease database or Anti-Virus/IDP
databases will not be backed up.
Important: Any upgrades will be lost after a factory reset
It should be understood that a reset to factory defaults is exactly that. Any
NetDefendOS upgrades performed since the unit left the factory will be lost.
