Back Up Settings
The backup feature saves all VPN firewall settings to a file. Back up your settings
periodically, and store the backup file in a safe place.
You can use a backup file to export all settings to another VPN firewall that uses the same
language and management software versions. 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. Log in to the unit:
a. In the address field of any of the qualified web browsers, enter https://192.168.1.1.
The NETGEAR Configuration Manager Login screen displays.
b. In the Username field, enter admin and in the Password / Passcode field, enter
password.
Use lowercase letters. If you changed the password, enter your personalized
password. Leave the domain as it is (geardomain).
c. Click the Login button.
The Router Status screen displays. After five minutes of inactivity, which is the default
login time-out, you are automatically logged out.
2. Select Administration > Settings Backup & Upgrade.
3. To save a copy of your current settings, next to Save a copy of current settings, click the
Backup button.
A screen displays, showing the file name of the backup file (FVS318G.cfg).
4. Click the Save file button and then click the OK button.
5. Open the folder in which you saved the backup file, and verify that it was saved successfully.
