XG210 blown up

Yes blown up.  Dead.  Nothing. Nada.

Power supply most probably toasted.  No fan. No LED. No LCD.

Called Sophos.  Waited around 75 minutes.  Then line hung up or lost connection.  I re-called.  Waited.

Meanwhile, Sophos WEB site was dead.  Cursor was turning around permanently waiting for HTTPS connection.  That was while trying to open a new case.  One more hour toasted.  At that point, it was more than two in total.  Remember that meanwhile, my phone speaker is repeating the "Please wait while somebody will assist you shortly" ...  Two hours of that message has the potential of turning you numb.

At one point I told myself maybe the chat box works.  It did answer at one point.  The tech there opened the case.

A little before 3 hours waiting, repeating messages stop, then someone on the phone !!!

That tech organised the RMA.  But ...  My business has no phone, no VPN, no mails.  And I'm told I could receive the replacement between 1 to 4 days.

Holy sh...

  • Do you use the Central Management with Backup Management? 

    Could safe you the trouble of saving Passwords / Backups in the first place. 

  • Hello Lucar

    I log at central.sophos.com, and there, I use the cloud button "Backup".  I setup the "Backup Frequency" to what I want.  And I do manual backup as well.    And I can only download locally via the WEB page.  My understanding is that these backup were generated by the appliance, and as such are using the password set in the backup menu ON the appliance.  meaning restoring such backup files REQUIRES the appliance password.

    From there, I cannot update firmware.  Like announce by Sophos last week.
