Backing up the Firewall Configuration
The ISA Server 2004 integrated backup utility makes saving the firewall configuration very
easy. There are only a handful of steps required to backup and restore the configuration.
Perform the following steps to back up the entire firewall configuration:
5. Open the Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004 management
console and right click on the server name in the left pane of the console. Click the Back
Up command.
6. In the Backup Configuration dialog box, enter a name for the backup file in the File
name text box. Be sure to note where you are saving the file by checking the entry in the
Save in drop down list. In this example, we will call the backup file backup1. Click the
Backup button.
7. In the Set Password dialog box, enter a password and confirm the password in the
Confirm password text box. The information in the backup file is encrypted because it
can potentially contain passwords and other confidential information that you do not want
others to access. Click OK.
