Replacing XG Software Appliance disk

Question

I'm about to replace the disk in my appliance used for Sophos XG Home. I can make a backup and I hope I can restore it, but will reports be restored as well? Has anyone successfully completed that operation ? Any clues and hits?

Hi, 
 You can save the reports in RAW format to use it for audit, this reports will not be viewable through GUI. 
 Thanks

Hi, 
 Not sure if you can clone the disk but I think that is possible, as I believe you are simply changing the hard disk and rest of the hardware is same. 
 Import Export page allows an administrator to export device configuration to a text file and import configuration from a text file to the device. The contents of the text file are in human readable XML format and hence the contents could be updated offline. The updated configurations could then be imported on another compatible device. I suggest you to download the backup using the back/restore option. 
 Thanks
