Making a backup of the Firebox software
To ensure that you always have a backup version of the current Firebox 
software, copy the image stored in the primary area to the Firebox flash 
disk backup area. From Control Center:
1
Click the Control Center Main Menu button (shown at 
right), which is located on the upper-left corner of 
Control Center.  
2
Select Tools => Advanced => Flash Disk Management
3
Select Make Backup of Current Image. Click Continue.
A verification prompt appears. Verify that the Management Station connects to 
the Firebox Trusted interface either over the network (TCP/IP) or via a modem 
using out-of-band management.
4
Click Yes
The Connect To Firebox dialog box appears.
5
Use the Firebox drop list to select a Firebox or type the IP address 
used by the Management Station to communicate with the Firebox. 
Enter the configuration (read/write) passphrase. Click OK
When the backup is successful, an Operation Complete alert appears.
6
Click OK
You do not need to reboot the Firebox.
Restoring a backup configuration file
Backing up and restoring a configuration file acts not only on the 
configuration file but on the entire flash image. This is important to note if 
you are loading a new version, patch, or component onto the Firebox. 
Restore the backup configuration file to the primary area of the Firebox 
flash disk when:
You incorrectly overwrite the primary configuration file.
The primary configuration file is incorrectly configured or is 
otherwise unusable.
