1.7 Backup sets
The new settings you've just applied have been stored in the firewall as current
configuration, but also as a “backup set”. A “backup set” is a snapshot of the
BaseWall VPN 6000's configuration in a single file. These backup sets can be
uploaded to the firewall, or downloaded from the firewall. Thus it is possible to
send or receive an entire firewall configuration in a single file. You can also
store a backup set on another computer or backup medium, as a backup of the
BaseWall VPN 6000's configuration.
Operations on backup sets are performed in the “Config” tab of the
“Configuration” context.
Under the heading “Edit the backup sets” you will find the stored backup sets
as well as buttons for possible operations on the backup sets.
At the moment we have one stored backup set (“applied-config-1127225350.5”
in the above example). Pressing “Delete” (before the name of the backup set,
on the left), will delete the backup set from the firewall's memory. This will not
affect the firewall's current settings, but is still inadvisable. On the right hand
side of the backup set's name we find the other options, “Load” (which restores
the firewall's configuration to the values stored in the backup set), “Download”
(which we can use to download a backup set with the firewalls current settings
to our computer) and “View” which gives a summary of firewall settings in the
selected backup set.
➔ Click “download” to download a copy of the backup set we've just made to
your computer.
