Restoring the Firewall Configuration from the Backup

File

You can use the backup file to restore the machine configuration. The restore can be to the

same machine and same ISA Server 2004 firewall installation, the same machine and a new

ISA Server 2004 firewall installation, or to a completely new machine.

Perform the following steps to restore the configuration from backup:

1. Open the Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004 management

console and right click on the computer name in the left pane of the console. Click the

Restore command.

2. In the Restore Configuration dialog box, navigate to the backup file you created. In this

example, we will use the backup file named backup1.xml. Click the Restore button after

selecting the file.

3. Enter the password you assigned to the file in the Type Password to Open File dialog

box, then click OK.
