Backup configuration" vs "Export full configuration

https://community.sophos.com/sophos-xg-firewall/f/discussions/129272/sophos-xg-backup-configuration-vs-export-full-configuration

Backup contains sensitive data. Export does not. You cannot export privat keys in certain cases like CAs or other options. Most likely i would not recommend to perform a Export/Import for a backup/Restore scenario.

If you have a new appliance and want to restore your current configuration, use Backup/restore.

If you want to copy paste certain configuration options, but create a new firewall within your setup, use export/import.
