Save Your TufinOS Configuration

Overview

When you upgrade or install TufinOS, you must save any OS data that you don't want to lose in the process. This is in addition to TOS data, which you will be prompted to either back up or create a snapshot of as part of all TufinOS upgrade procedures.

If you have any questions about the upgrade, contact the Tufin support team. Do not attempt the upgrade if you are unsure about any part of it.
