Is a Restore of XG 17.5.14 (SG210r1) into XG 17.5.14 (Software) possible?

Hi juergenb52 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! 

If the target appliance satisfies the criteria required for the number of interfaces then the backup should work. Did you get any error message? 

Check out the following KBA for more info: Sophos XG Firewall: Backup-restore compatibility check.

Thanks,

Thanks,

i checked the KBA.

My machine has i5, 16GB Memory and 6 NIC`s

I only get a error message that the backup can´t be restore.

if i grep the log file i find this message.

Backup from SG210 cannot be restored on SF01V

Thanks

Jürgen

You need the matching Interface number, not the configured.

As SG210 has 8 Ports (+ one Management as far as i can remember), you need at least 9 Interfaces in your virtual appliance. 

Thanks LuCar Toni,

i have a Windows 10, Hyper-V Guest with 10 vNIC´s now.
And the restore is possible.

Let see how long Sophos Support will need to find this information.
They still have no clue...

But SG210 Rev. 1 has 6 interfaces.

Is the COM Port a 7th interface?

Did you use the Flexi Port Module, which is optional in SG210?

Seems like your SG210 has more interface as i expected. 

Thanks for your help,

my SG210r1 has no flexi Ports.
