Thanks for the comments. Is it best practice to backup both the config and image before tinkering?<br />
<br />
Would i need to restore both, or jsut one should things go wrong?<br />

Yes, very much, but backing up configuration is more important than the image for the very reason that if you lose it, it is gone. But image can be downloaded from Cisco site if you have a service contract with Cisco.<br />

Hi there,<br />
<br />
I am new to configuring Cisco PIX firewalls. As part of another question I have posted here I will most likely have to alter some settings, so would like to know how to backup the current settings and how to reapply that backup should something go disastrously wrong.<br />
<br />
Are there any things I *must* not change in the config?<br />

How to backup and restore PIX Config

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
