Backup/Restore a Firewall Device

• Dome Central Manager allows you to backup the current state of a firewall device at any time. Each backup includes device configuration settings and database dumps.

• The backups are stored on the firewall device itself.

• You can restore the firewall from any saved backup by clicking the 'Restore' button.

To manage backup and restore operations of a device

• Click 'System' on the left then select 'Dashboard'
  

• Click the 'Actions' button on the tile of the device

• Select 'Backup' from the options

The backup settings interface lists any previously created backups and allows you to create a new backup.

• The list only shows backup sets created via the central manager interface. Backups created on the firewall device itself are not listed.

Backup Sets - Column Descriptions

• Click 'System' on the left then select 'Dashboard'

 

• Click the 'Actions' button on the tile of the device and choose 'Backup'

The backup settings interface will open.

• Click the 'Create New Backup' button

• Choose the components you want to include in the backup:

• Current configuration – Will backup all current firewall settings.

• Include database dumps - Adds firewall database content and logs to the backup.

• Enter a short description or comment for the backup in the text box. This description will appear in the 'Remark' column in the list of backup archives.

• Click 'Save'.

A command to create the backup will be sent to the device.Once the backup has been created and stored on the device, it will be listed in the 'Backup Sets' interface.

Rollback a Firewall Device to a Previous Time Point

 

Backup archives allow you to rollback a firewall to a previous state if you encounter issues with your current configuration. The firewall will automatically restart after you have restored from a backup.

To restore a backup

• Click 'System' on the left then select 'Dashboard'

• Click the 'Actions' button on the tile of the device and choose 'Backup'

 

The backup settings interface will open with a list of available archives:

• Click the 'Restore' button  in the row of the required backup archive. Click 'OK' in the confirmation dialog to begin the restoration.
  

• After the restore operation is complete, the device will restart with the configuration as per the backup contents.
