Back Up Panorama and Firewall Configurations

Creating Panorama configuration backups enables you to later Restore a Panorama Configuration. This is useful when you want to revert Panorama to all the settings of an earlier configuration; you can perform the restoration as a single operation instead of manually reconfiguring each setting in the current configuration.

When you commit changes, Panorama automatically saves a new version of the running configuration. If a system event or administrator action causes Panorama to reboot, it automatically reverts to the current version of the running configuration, which Panorama stores in a file named running-config.xml. However, Panorama does not automatically save the candidate configuration to persistent storage. You must manually save the candidate configuration as a default snapshot file (.snapshot.xml) or as a custom-named snapshot file.
