How to migrate Hardware Appliance configuration to a Software or Virtual Appliance?

BrucekConvergent

So... I'm trying to migrate a configuration from a Hardware Appliance (XG135) to a Virtual Appliance ... I've found that the Virtual Appliance will not accept a configuration backup directly from the XG135... this was a process that was pretty simple with Sophos UTM... anyone have any ideas?

    Bruce,

    what error do you get? Strange that the configuration made with HW appliance is not accepted on VM.

    Hope that someone from Sophos ( or ) can clarify this aspect!

    Hello

    the backup is independent of hardware or software version. The backup prerequisites require that you have atleast the same of more number of ports on the destination appliance. 

    Also, a backup from appliance that has inbuilt wireless cannot be applied to another appliance without inbuilt wireless. 

    Could you please share more info about destination appliance.

    EDIT: In your case, the source appliance is XG135 (8 ports) and if the Virtual machine configuration is not edited, it has 3 network interfaces by default, you'll have to add 5 more network interfaces to your virtual appliance and then try the backup-restore.
