Exporting a Copy of your Configuration Settings

Before beginning the update process, export a copy of your SonicWall SMAappliance configuration settings to your local machine. The EXPORT option saves a copy of the current configuration settings, protecting all your existing settings in the event that it becomes necessary to return to a previous configuration state.

To save a copy of your configuration settings in SMA 10.2 and export them to a file on your local management station, click EXPORT on the System > Settings page and save the settings file to your local computer. The default settings file is named sslvpnsettings-xxxxxxxx.zip (where xxxxxxx is the serial number of the appliance).

To export the configuration settings from an appliance running SMA 9.0 or earlier, navigate to the System > Settings page in the SMA appliance and click Export Settings.

To more easily restore settings in the future, rename the .zip file to include the version of the SonicWall SMA firmware from which you are exporting the settings.
