How to Save Configuration Backups
Barracuda Networks recommends that you regularly back up the latest working configuration, in case you need to restore this information on a
replacement Barracuda Firewall or the current system data becomes corrupt. It is also very important to back up your configuration before
updating your Barracuda Firewall to the latest available firmware.
You can back up your current Barracuda Firewall configuration into a single file. After a misconfiguration or hardware failure, you can import this
backup file (*.bak) to the Barracuda Firewall to restore the saved configuration. You have two options for saving configuration backups:
For manual backups, on the local file system of a computer that manages the Barracuda Firewall.
For automated backups, remotely on an FTP server as well as on a Windows network share (SMB).
The following information is not included in the backup file:
System password
System management IP address
DNS information
