New:

• Layout adjustment
• Translation
• Conversion only from version 11.8.x

Previous versions: 11.6.11 | 11.7

Preliminary remark

The settings of the UTM appliance are saved in a configuration file.
The configuration files are organised in the menu → Configuration →Configuration ManagementTab Local Configuration.

In der Konfiguration werden auch die Benutzer und - ab v12 in einer separaten Datenbank - die Captive Portal Benutzer gespeichert.

Automatic backups of the configuration should be carried out with regular cloud backups.
More on this in the Wiki article Cloud Backups

Import configuration Import configuration	Imports the configuration of a (different) Securepoint UTM. Select the config file with Browse Import with the Upload button. The appliance being imported into must have the same or a higher version than the configuration file being imported. From 11.8.5 onwards, it is no longer possible to import inappropriate configuration files.. As of version 12, only configurations from a UTM v11.8.x and higher are imported. If an older configuration file must be used, it can first be imported into a (virtual) UTM with version 11.8.x. From there, the configuration can be exported again and imported into a v12.
