Sophos Firewall: v19.0 EAP1: Feedback and experiences

Can I do  restore of an MR2 backup to add things like web exceptions?

Restoring v18.5 MR2 backups isn't possible on v19 EAP.

And Import & Export function doesn't work as expected.

Most of the things that should get imported didn't, and even then, I've had some weird issues after It. Such as It didn't import any SSL/TLS Inspection Rules - and didn't show any rules available after it, but if I tried to create a new TLS Inspection Rule with the same name as the old one, the Firewall would give a warning of: "An SSL/TLS Inspection Rule with that name already exists."

The problem here is, how I'm going to delete a Rule that doesn't show in the Web UI?

The good news is that EAP came out so soon after MR2 that I personally hadn't had time to change much. (I screen-captured my last few Web Exceptions just in case, but they weren't new.)

I ran into a similar problem with missing configuration and policies. I tried to create the policies again only to get the warning and then miraculously the missing policies and exceptions appeared.
