execute restore

Use the following commands to manually import system files from an FTP/TFTP server or a disk as indicated:

• execute restore configdisk — Use this command to restore the configuration from the backup file on the disk.
• execute restore config-file — Imports a zip file that includes the configuration text file, error page files, script files, ISP address book files, and certificate files. It is imported from a TFTP server.
• execute restore image — Imports a firmware image. It is imported from an FTP or TFTP server.
• execute restore image alternative — Boots alternate firmware. If partition1 is active and then system boots partition2 after executing the command and vice versa.
• execute restore isp-address — Imports an ISP address book text file. When you perform the restore operation, the imported address book takes priority over entries from the predefined address book (default for the firmware image). In systems with multiple VDOMs, the command applies to the current VDOM only. It is imported from a TFTP server.
• execute restore waf-signature — Imports a WAF signature database update. It is imported from an FTP or TFTP server.
• execute restore geoip-db ftp — Imports a GEO IP database. It is imported from a FTP server.
• execute restore geoip-db tftp — Imports a GEO IP database. It is imported from a TFTP server.
• execute restore geoip-db factory-default — Set the GEO IP database to default.
• execute restore reputation-block-list — Imports a block list IP reputation database. It is imported from a TFTP server.

Back up a configuration before restoring a different version. This command restores configuration changes only, and does not affect settings that remain at their default values. Default values might vary by firmware version.
