Migration Wizard: Choose the IOS IPS Backup Signature File

The backup file contains the Cisco IOS IPS information that will be migrated.
This may be a Signature Definition File (SDF), such as attack-drop.sdf, or
128MB.sdf. If you made changes to the signature information, such as disabling
signatures or changing the attributes of specific signatures, the rec ords of your
changes are kept in a separate file. If you used Cisco SDM to make changes, Cisco
SDM saves them in a file named sdmips.sdf, which it saves to router flash
memory. If you made changes manually, you may have given the file another
name and may have saved a backup copy on your PC.
Click the ... button next to the backup file field to display a dialog that allows you
to browse for this backup file on router flash memory or on your PC .
