35.3 Backup Configuration

The ZyWALL displays different messages explaining different
ways to backup, restore and upload files in menus 24.5, 24.6, 24.
7.1 and 24.7.2 depending on whether you use the console port or
Telnet.
Option 5 from Menu 24 - System Maintenance allows you to backup the current ZyWALL
configuration to your computer. Backup is highly recommended once your ZyWALL is functioning
properly. FTP is the preferred method for backing up your current configuration to your computer
since it is faster. You can also perform backup and restore using menu 24 through the console port.
Any serial communications program should work fine; however, you must use Xmodem protocol to
perform the download/upload and you don't have to rename the files.
Please note that terms "download" and "upload" are relative to the computer. Download means to
transfer from the ZyWALL to the computer, while upload means from your computer to the
ZyWALL.
