Show Configuration Files Table

Clicking the arrow mark next to firmware version displays information about the backup files on the cloud for that firmware version.

CONFIGURATION VERSION Version number of the backup file.
CONFIGURATION DATE Date the backup file was created.
BACKUP TYPE Type of backup, Auto or Manual, as well as these icons:
 
  • Retain Configuration File – selecting this icon prevents the backup file from being overwritten during an auto or manual backup.
  • Gold Master – selecting this icon designates the backup file as the Gold Master backup file, that is, the combination prefs file and firmware image combination you can designate as the most stable configuration. When you designate an entry as a gold master, it cannot be deleted or unpinned until or unless you designate it as a non-gold, standard file. This protects your most stable version. Only one backup can be a gold standard.
COMMENTS

Displays information about the firmware or backup file. If you did not specify a comment when creating a backup, a default comment is displayed:

  • Automated backup
  • This is the cloud backup firmware
  • Custom comment
USERNAME User who installed or updated the firmware.
BOOT

Clicking the Boot icon displays whether to reboot the firewall with the current or factory default configuration:

Clicking Boot next to any firmware image overwrites the existing current firmware image making it the Current Firmware image.

When uploading firmware to the firewall, you must not interrupt the Web browser by closing the browser, clicking a link, or loading a new page. If the browser is interrupted, the firmware may become corrupted.
Configuration Actions

Displays icons:

  • Download – Saves the firmware to a new location on your computer or network. Only uploaded firmware can be saved to a different location
  • Edit Comment – Allows you to edit the default or custom comment.
  • Delete – Deletes the backup file.
