Scheduling Automatic Backups

You can schedule automatic backups of your configuration settings via Cloud Backup. SonicWall recommends this after you have upgraded your firewall to the latest firmware.

Cloud Backup must be enabled before you can schedule backups of your configuration settings. This feature is not supported for Local Backup.

To schedule a cloud backup

  1. Navigate to Device | Settings > Firmware and Settings.
  2. Click Cloud Backups to display the Cloud Backups screen.
  3. Click Create Backup and then select Schedule Backup.

  4. In the Schedule Backup dialog, select the options you want to use:

    • For a one-time backup, select Once as the Schedule Type, then use the calendar to set the date and time.
    • For a recurring backup, select Recurring as the Schedule Type, then set the days and times.
    • For a mixed schedule backup, select Mixed as the Schedule Type, then set the days and times.
  5. When finished, click Save.
