Description
This article will help create a manual Backup of Device Configuration to track history of configuration changes. This action will create a new config snapshot for the firewall. This can help us find out changes carried out on the firewall before we can make any new changes and can do a config difference between two backups.
Resolution
To create a configuration backup of a device:
- Navigate to Manager View | Firewalls |Inventory.
- Hover over the device for which you want to create a configuration backup and click Ellipses icon in the Action column and click on Create Backup Configuration.
- Click Confirm to create the backup.
To validate the backup:
- Navigate to Manager View | Config Management > Audit and Select the appropriate device from the Devices drop-down list.
- View the entries in the Audit table to find the backup.
- Click the arrow next to the date of the backup. The entry expands to show the configuration file that
was backed up.
NOTE: This can help us find out changes carried out on the firewall before we can make any new changes and can do a config difference between two backups.
