You can use the Network Security console to backup to or restore from compact flash. If the compact flash is mounted as a filesystem when a backup is initiated, it is automatically used for storing the backup file. You are prompted to choose the file name, to which the date is automatically added to ensure uniqueness. The backup file is not encrypted. If the compact flash card is too full to hold the backup file, you will see an error message on the console. A typical backup file may be 10 to 20 MB in size. During the restore process, files on the compact flash are displayed for selection if the compact flash is mounted.
