ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308 Reference Manual
Backing Up Settings
The backup feature saves all VPN firewall settings to a file. These settings include the IP
addresses, subnet masks, gateway addresses, and so on.
Back up your VPN firewall settings periodically, and store the backup file in a safe place.
Tip: You can use a backup file to export all settings to another VPN firewall that has the
same language and management software versions. Remember to change the IP
address of the second VPN firewall before deploying it to eliminate IP address
conflicts on the network.
To back up settings:
1. On the Settings Backup and Firmware Upgrade screen (see
Save a copy of current settings, click the Back Up button to save a copy of your current
settings. A warning appears, and then a screen, showing the file name of the backup file
(SRX5308.cfg).
2. Select Save file, and then click OK.
3. Open the folder where you have saved the backup file, and then verify that it has been saved
successfully.
Note the following:
• If your browser is not configured to save downloaded files automatically, locate the folder in
which you want to save the file, specify the file name, and save the file.
• If your browser is configured to save downloaded files automatically, the file is saved to your
browser's download location on the hard disk.
Restoring Settings
Warning: Restore only settings that were backed up from the same software version.
Restoring settings from a different software version can corrupt your backup
file or the VPN firewall system software.
To restore settings from a backup file:
