Configuring Prefs File Settings

You can have the system automatically save your GMS preferences files on a regular basis. This includes the addunit.xml file that contains information about the units under GMS management.

To configure the prefs file settings:

1	Click the Console tab.

2	Expand the Management tree and click Settings. The Settings page displays.

3	Select Daily or Weekly in the Automatically save prefs file & addunit.xml field, and select a day of the week (if weekly) and a time. This determines how often Dell SonicWALL GMS automatically saves the preferences and addUnit.xml files.

4	To automatically save the VPN Gateway Preferences files for SonicWALL appliances, select Automatically save VPN Gateway Prefs file.

NOTE: The Enable Prefs Backup option must also be selected on the Policies > General > Settings screen.

5	When finished in the Settings page, click Update. To clear the screen settings and start over, click Reset.
