Sophos Migration Assistant will not import any backup from UTM

Hi all,

I downloaded the Sophos Migration Assistant which is easy to install and to start.

But... I tried to use multiple backup files with and without pw but ALL are Version 9.714004 (I have only actually patched UTMs ;-).

Import never works (tried 4 different UTMs: UTM230 Appl and virtual machines):

„The Sophos UTM version of the uploaded configuration file is not supported for migration.“

So I never be able to pass part 1 of the Wizard. Any hints?

So are you migrating from UTM to XG? If not, then what are you using the migration tool for?

Two ways I would suggest this.

One would be to get a Sophos Partner involved in the migration, as they have access to the partner migration tool.

Second, I would honestly not really bother with the migration tool and just build it from scratch. There is so much difference between the two products, you will spend more time messing with the tool than you would rebuilding your XG.

What is your goal?
Because you can do everything even better with scripts and other tools, if really needed.

But the initial installation of SFOS and the first steps are not that complicated to begin with to get you up and running. Then you can build your rule set as you go.
