Will the Config get lost after firmware update on srx5308 (3.0.7-45)

Hello,

 

we have an srx5308 and I want to make an firmware update on the device, but I'm a bit scared that the config will get lost when I install the actual firmware.

 

My question:

Is it possible to restore the firewall with the backup of 3.0.7-45 when firmware 4.3.3-6 is installed?

 

Thx and Regards

Vitus

Hi vito86b,

 

Welcome to the community! 🙂

 

I recommend you to save a screenshot of all the settings configured on the SRX5308 before you upgrade the firmware from v3.0.7-45 to v4.3.3-6.  It is because it is not a guarantee that the config file you have backed up from the v3.x firmware will be restored after upgrading to  the v4.x firmware.  In addition, it is recommended to perform a factory reset on the SRX5308 after a successful firmware upgrade then reconfigure the settings from scratch.
