Upgrading XG115 from SFOS 18.0.6 MR-6 to SFOS 18.5.1 MR-1: Backup restore not working?

Dominik Wagner1

Hey everybody,

I'm trying to upgrade a XG115 appliance from SFOS 18.0.6 to SFOS 18.5.1.

I've created a backup of the config from within the 18.0.6 firmware and downloaded and installed the 18.5.1 release .

All settings were reset to factory defaults, which was to be expected.

However, I'm unable to restore the 18.0.6 backup.

The process simply errors out, complaining that the backup can not be applied to this firmware version.

Can someone give me a hint how exactly one is supposed to upgrade the firmware without losing the configuration?

Thanks in advance,

Dominik

    I don't understand your comment about the UTM upgrades, last time I used a UTM it was one file for all users the installation worked based on your licence, are you saying Sophos has broken the UTM upgrade into many smaller parts?

    I dont understand. UTM Firmware upgrades are madness compared to this. (Try to do this task on UTM. Have fun downloading 10 Files and be careful which one you use. See UTM download server). 

    Never the less:

    Simply use V18.5 MR2. It will support a upgrade from V18.0 MR6. It will also support a restore of you current version.

    Well, at least I'm not the only one then :-)

    Man, I miss the good, old UTM days....back when men were men, women were women and firmware upgrades were simple firmwareupgrades that went through without a hitch :-)

    I have the same issue.  Went from 17.5.11 to 18.0.6 build655 and now I can't go to 18.5.1 build 326 unless I want to boot factory default.

    Thanks for answering!

    It might be worth a shot. Any idea how I would go about this? Can I roll back from MR6 to MR5 without having to do a reinstall?

    Where can I even get the MR5 firmware? This is everything being offered to me in the download section:

    HI,

    for some odd reason, I think you have to migrate from mr5. You might check the release notes for mr6 for compatibility issues.
