Installing the management station software
Saving the configuration file
You can save the configuration file of a Firebox on the device itself. You can also save it as a file on a
local hard disk drive. Before you migrate, we recommend that you save the configuration file to a local
hard disk drive.
1 From WFS Policy Manager, select File > Save > As File.
2 Type the name of the configuration file. Click Save.
The configuration file has the file extension *.wfg. You can also save this to a network folder.
Saving the appliance software image
A very important step in the upgrade is to save the appliance software image. The Firebox keeps this file
on a backup partition of the Firebox hard disk drive. You must have the appliance software image to
restore the WFS appliance software on your Firebox if you move to Fireware Pro and must get access to
WFS again. To create the WFS backup file:
1 From WFS Policy Manager, select File > Save > To Firebox.
