Configuration
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration section contains some tools to keep track of your setup.
|
||||
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
Backup
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can backup and restore your machines configuration using the :menuselection:`System --> Configuration --> Backups` section.
|
||||
When performing a local backup, you can choose to protect it with a password and decide whether or not you
|
||||
would like to store rrd statistics as well (in which case they will be stored in the same export xml file).
|
||||
|
||||
.. Note::
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the sensitive nature of your configuration data, its advisable to protect backups with a strong password when
|
||||
storing them or distributing them to others.
|
||||
|
||||
.. Note::
|
||||
|
||||
RRD statistics are used in System Health
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Restoring backups can either be performed partially or for the complete configuration. Since configurations usually
|
||||
have various components that depend on each other, it's most safe to restore a complete configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
.. Note::
|
||||
|
||||
Partial restores can lead to unexpected behavior, use with care.

|
||||
Defaults
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
With the defaults tool you can reset your firewall back to firmware defaults and shutdown when done.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
History
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The history menu helps you track changes between modifications and offer the opportunity to download older
|
||||
versions of your settings.
|
||||
|
||||
.. Tip::
|
||||
|
||||
You can specify the number of backups to keep in this menu, which can be quite practical when a higher level of
|
||||
auditability is required.
