About Import/Export

You can use the Import/Export feature to copy configurations between Firewall Management Centers. Import/Export is not a backup tool but can simplify the process of adding a new Firewall Management Center.

You can export a single configuration, or you can export a set of configurations (of the same type or of different types) with a single action. When you later import the package onto another Firewall Management Center, you can choose which configurations in the package to import.

An exported package contains revision information for that configuration, which determines whether you can import that configuration onto another Firewall Management Center. When the Firewall Management Center are compatible, but the package includes a duplicate configuration, the Firewall Management Center offers resolution options.
