Sophos XG upgrade - XG135 -> XGS2100

Hi Andre Thibodeau,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! 

The configuration backup from SFOS v18.0.5 MR5 to v18.5 isn't supported at the moment. 

The workaround would be to downgrade the firmware to 18.0.4 MR4, download the backup, and use it on v18.5. 

Note: You will lose the configuration done between v18.0 MR4 and MR5.

Thanks,

Hi Harsh,

The XG135 was upgraded from 18.0.3 to 18.0.5 several months ago, we would loose too many changes to if we were to downgrade the XG135.  So I have reached out to our Sophos Rep and provided him with a copy of the XG135 backup to have it converted.  Will update this discussion if we are successful.

Thanks

André

The issue about restore is always, if you build a version, which is based on a older version. Basically V18.5 GA is based on MR4. Therefore the changes of MR5 are not included. 

But MR1 is released: https://community.sophos.com/sophos-xg-firewall/b/blog/posts/sophos-firewall-v185-mr1-eap

awesome, I will apply mr1 this morning and attempt the restore.

All good.  Updated the XGS2100 to MR1 and restored backup from 18.0.5
