Backing up the Firewall Configuration 
The ISA Server 2004 integrated backup utility makes saving the firewall configuration very 
easy. There are only a handful of steps required to backup and restore the configuration.  
Perform the following steps to back up the entire firewall configuration: 
5. Open 
the 
Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004 management 
console and right click on the server name in the left pane of the console. Click the Back 
Up
 command. 
6. In 
the 
Backup Configuration dialog box, enter a name for the backup file in the File 
name text box. Be sure to note where you are saving the file by checking the entry in the 
Save in drop down list. In this example, we will call the backup file backup1. Click the 
Backup button. 
 
7. In 
the 
Set Password dialog box, enter a password and confirm the password in the 
Confirm password text box. The information in the backup file is encrypted because it 
can potentially contain passwords and other confidential information that you do not want 
others to access. Click OK
