The NetGuardian's feature selection can hold a large amount of configurable information, and if you lose that information because of error or failure it can be inconvenient to re-configure the whole thing manually. That's why DPS recommends NGEdit as the preferred provisioning interface for your NetGuardian 832As.
NetGuardian configurations can be backed up and restored quite easily- in several different ways, or from one NetGuardian to another. Exporting a configuration to a file allows you to transport, store, and backup a NetGuardian configuration, and what's more, do it completely independent of a NetGuardian unit or the NGEdit software.
This is very useful for quickly restoring your NetGuardian configurations in the event of unit failure or loss, updating several NetGuardian units to nearly identical settings, or archiving your database information.
By exporting the NetGuardian configuration file you can store them on a common network server. Then multiple technicians gain access to the master configuration files. They can also email individual unit configurations back and forth (instead of your entire NGEdit database).
Just follow these simple steps to start backing up your NetGuardian configurations with NGEdit and FTP.
The NetGuardian binary configuration file can now be archived or transported.
Note: This file must have a .bin file extension in order to be imported into NGEdit.
The NetGuardian configuration can now be viewed and edited with NGEdit.
Note: Configuration restorations should only be downloaded to units running the same firmware version as the original backup unit the configuration file came from.
