    Question/Topic:

    Before beginning the update process, make a system backup of your SonicWALL security appliance configuration settings. The backup feature saves a copy of your current configuration settings on your SonicWALL security appliance, protecting all your existing settings in the event it becomes necessary to return to a previous configuration state.

    In addition to using the backup feature to save your current configuration state to the SonicWALL security appliance, you can export the configuration preferences file to a directory on your local management station. This file serves as an external backup of the configuration preferences, and can be imported back into the SonicWALL security appliance.

    Resolution/Workaround:

    Perform the following procedures to save a backup of your configuration settings and export them to a file on your local management station:

    1. To save a backup of your settings on a SonicWALL Security appliance, click the Create Backup Settings button on the System > Settings page of the SonicWALL management interface. When you select Create Backup, SonicOS saves both the current SonicOS Standard/Enhanced image and your current configuration preferences.

    2. On the System > Settings page, click the Export Settings... button and save the preferences file to your local machine. The default preferences file is named sonicwall.exp. You can rename the file but you should keep the .exp extension.

    Tip: Rename the .exp file to include the version of the SonicOS Standard/Enhanced image from which you are exporting the settings. For example, if you export the settings from the SonicOS Standard 3.0 image, rename the file using the format: [date]_[version]_[mac].exp to "021605_3.0.0.6-27s_000611223344.exp" (the [mac] format entry is the serial number of the SonicWALL security appliance). Then if you need to roll back to that version of the SonicOS Standard/Enhanced image, you can correctly choose the file to import.
