Create and Schedule Backup of DFW State


  • Comodo Dome Firewall allows you to backup the current state of the firewall at any time. Each backup includes configuration settings, logs and database dumps.
  • Backups can be manually created at any time or automatically created according to a schedule.
    • Backups can be encrypted and stored locally, stored on USB device, or emailed for storage in a remote location.
      • You can restore the firewall to any backup by clicking the 'Restore Archive' button.
      • If required, you can also restore the virtual appliance to default settings and reconfigure the virtual appliance from the scratch.

      To open the Backup interface

      • Click 'System' > 'Backup' in the left-hand navigation
