Release Notes for Cisco AsyncOS 8.0.5 for Web
 
  Upgrading AsyncOS for Web
Configuration Files
When you upgrade AsyncOS for Web from the web interface or Command Line Interface (CLI), the 
configuration is saved to file in the /configuration/upgrade directory. You can access the upgrade 
directory using an FTP client. Each configuration file name is appended with the version number, and 
passwords in the configuration file are masked so they are not human readable. 
Cisco does not generally support the backward compatibility of configuration files with previous major 
releases. Minor release support is provided. Configuration files from previous versions may work with 
later releases; however, they may require modification to load. Check with Cisco Customer Support if 
you have any questions about configuration file support.
Post-Upgrade Reboot
You must reboot the Web Security appliance after you upgrade AsyncOS for Web.
