Will an Astaro Backup File work in Sophos?

I am in the process of updating from my old Astaro software (ASG Firmware version 8.003 Home License) to the latest Sophos software.

If I were to create a backup of the current settings of my Astaro server, would that backup be useable in the Sophos (Home License) as a way of importing the current settings on the Astaro?

Hi Asta,

Generally speaking, a backup file generated in an older ASG/UTM version can safely be restored to a newer version. The new Sophos branding is just that, branding. Under the hood it's still the same product.

Drew,

Thanks for the info! That should save quite some time with the setup.

Hi, it should work, but I would recommend making sure you have an 8.x CD handy in case of problems.

Just completed the update to Sophos, and the Astaro backup worked with no problems!
