migrating UTM 220 to SG 210

Question

If I would like to migrate my UTM 220 to SG 210, can I just upload a configuration backup file of the UTM 220 to the SG 210?

Hello Lucky and welcome to the UTM Community! 
 Here's what I give to my clients when they upgrade or replace a dead stand-alone unit: 
 1. If needed, do a quick, temporary install so that the new device can download Up2Dates. 2. Apply the desired Up2Dates (if possible, stop at 9.508 today if you use the SMTP Proxy with 'MIME Type Filter') and do a factory reset. 3. On the current UTM in use, on the 'Hardware' tab of 'Interfaces', assign the MAC as the Virtual MAC for the NICs in use. 4. Create a backup and load it onto a USB memory stick. 5. Reboot the new device with the USB memory stick in place and remove the memory stick after the boot is complete. 6. Connect a PC to the new device, upload the license for the new device and then disconnect the PC, leaving the new device powered up. 7. Power down the old device and move the cables to the new device. Done.
