Procedure

Step 2	In the navigation bar, click Inventory.
Step 3	Click the Devices tab.
Step 4	Click the FTD tab and select the device you want to backup.
Step 5	In the Device Actions pane on the right, click Manage Backups.
Step 6	Click Backup Now. The Device enters the Backing Up configuration state. When the backup is done, the Security Cloud Control displays the device's configuration state it was in before the backup started. You can also open the change log page to look for a recent change log record with the description, "Backup completed successfully." If you created a change request in step 1, you can also filter by that value to find the change log entry.
Step 7	if you created a change request in step 1, clear the change request value so you do not inadvertently associated more changes with the change request.
