NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewall FVS318G v2
Back Up Settings
The backup feature saves all VPN firewall settings to a file. Back up your settings
periodically, and store the backup file in a safe place.
You can use a backup file to export all settings to another VPN firewall that uses the same
language and management software versions. Change the IP address of the second VPN
firewall before deploying it to eliminate IP address conflicts on the network.
