Note:

If you believe that sending configuration files via e-mail might compromise your 
security, read the text below to determine what pieces of information are included 
and how information is encrypted, then make a decision.

The configuration snapshot contains:

Network configuration (host and domain names, gateway, gateway device, and IP addresses of the 
NA-1400.

Information about NA-1400 shares.

Status and debug log files of management engine and Samba service.

Kernel modules configuration file.

A list of hardware devices present in the system, and their specific features.

Notes:

The configuration snapshot is a compressed file that is encrypted with the PGP 
key. It means that only an owner of the key can decrypt the data retrieved from 
your NA-1400. It can be the NA-1400 or server-side software vendor.

No passwords are included into the snapshot, except for the proxy and Web 
repository credentials that might be used at NA-1400 update time.

Use logging only for troubleshooting and disable this option at regular operation 
time in order to avoid server operation slowdowns and waste of a disk space on 
system partitions.
