Hello Ahmed,

You don't need to reinstall the STAS. You just need to made sure that the firewall IP configured properly on STAS.

The link shared by Lucar suggest that there is option to map the interface to different interface on restoring device.

Configuration import is used when we wanted to restore selective configuration. Backup and restore will have complete configuration.

Reports can not be imported.
