Restoring a firewall configuration

Joe

Hi,

Is there any way of restoring a firewall configuration on a local PC that has been overwritten by the transfer of a configuration from Enterprise Console?

Thanks,

Joe

    Just some extra information about the circumstances. The PC is used by a member of the IT staff and he adjusts the firewall as he sits fit hence that's why he has his own configuration. The PC was being updated from Sophos 7 to Sophos 9 when the configuration was overwritten.

    This is not the first time I've mistakely overwritten a custom configuration. And I know I should have a backup, etc. but the mechanism for ensuring the configuration in Enterprise Console is a little clunky. As far as I know, and I'm happy to be corrected, I would have to remember (in my head or on some paper) the target PC has a custom configuration, go to the PC and obtain the configuration and then import it into Enterprise Console. It would be nice if Enterprise Console could do this for you. I suppose a bare minimum of an improvement might be a check by Enterprise Console to say the target PC has a custom configuration and halt the updating. Then you have the opportunity to import/backup the custom configuration or decide to overwrite it.
