I need to upgrade from ASG 6.315. Will 7.502 be able to directly import my settings from the 6.315 backup file? Or do I need to upgrade first to an older version like 7.402?
Don't bother transporting your blacklists and whitelists for Web and Mail Security. The new engines are much more powerful than those in V6. Typically, 'Sender blacklist', 'Expression filter' and 'URL block list' now are empty, but some of our clients have added several as it's hard to break old habits. [;)]
The new IPS is more-powerful and has an expanded ruleset. You should search in the V7.400 beta forum for lists of IPS rules you likely will want to disable.
V7.5 is a quantum leap beyond V6.3. There are many, new, powerful tools. A great thing to start with is the End User Portal. With it, you can give endusers the ability to manage their own email whitelists and quarantine, configure for any VPN for which they have permission and import the Astaro HTTPS cert if you want to turn on HTTPS scanning. It represents a tremendous reduction of the time an admin needs to spend managing issues for individual endusers.
