Backup and Restore

Use these screens to back up your current Nebula Device’s configurations to NCC, or restore a previously saved configuration. Click MSP > MSP cross-org manage > Backup & restore to access these screens.

At the time of writing, you can do the following:
– In Cloud mode, back up a Security Firewall’s running configuration to NCC and restore a running configuration from NCC to a Security Firewall
– In Cloud Monitoring mode, back up a Security Firewall’s local Web Configurator settings to NCC and restore a local Web Configurator settings from NCC to a Security Firewall
– In Cloud mode, back up a Security Router’s running configuration to NCC and restore a running configuration from NCC to a Security Router.
You cannot use the local Web Configurator settings in Cloud Monitoring mode to restore the running configuration of the Nebula Device in Cloud mode. Likewise, you cannot use the running configuration in Cloud mode to restore the local Web Configurator settings of the Nebula Device in Cloud Monitoring mode.

A maximum of 10 backups are allowed per site. This includes the backups done in the MSP > MSP cross-org manage > Backup & restore and Site-wide > Devices > Firewall: Live tools: Backup & Restore screens. NCC will automatically remove the oldest backup after exceeding 10 backups.

A backup done in the MSP > MSP cross-org manage > Backup & restore screen is also added to the Site-wide > Devices > Firewall: Live tools: Backup & Restore screen.
A manual or scheduled back up done in the Site-wide > Devices > Firewall: Live tools: Backup & Restore screen is also added to the MSP > MSP cross-org manage > Backup & restore screen.

The backups will be removed from NCC when the site it belongs to is deleted.
