27.11.1 Backup Configuration

Backup configuration allows you to back up (save) the ZyWALL’s current configuration to a file on your computer. Once your ZyWALL is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended that you back up your configuration file before making configuration changes. The backup configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.

Click Backup to save the ZyWALL’s current configuration to your computer.
