HA Upgrade Questions

Question

Good afternoon, 
 I have a couple of question regarding an upgrade we are doing over the next couple of weeks. So we are replacing our XG 210 with 2 XGS 3100's and have some question to their setup in a Primary/Secondary HA configuration. 
 1) Do I simply register each new device under my account first 
 2) Can I use a backup from the XG210 and apply to both new 3100's 
 3) If #2 is Yes, when they are then setup as primary and secondary what keeps the 2 units in unison? For example if I add a new VPN user to the Primary does the secondary automatically synchronize? 
 
 I think that is enough questions right now. Thank you.

You should register the devices in your Account - Yes. 
 Backup/Restore can be used: Keep in mind, Interfaces could be different placed. So you should review your interfaces after the restore. 
 I would recommend to register both devices (using wizard) and then after restore on primary, build a new HA.
