I'm pretty sure you cant, they are siginficantly different hardware.<br />
<br />
When I moved from a sonicwall Pro 100 to a PRO2040 I had to basically look at the configurations side by side and 'back them up' manually.<br />
<br />
I did take it as an opportunity to look for those forwarded services that are no longer needed though, so it was productive.<br />

Ok, If I backup my config on the 4100 before I start making changes, is there any chance at all the 4100 will not take the importing of the config file and I will have to start over from scratch rebuildiing the whole box? &nbsp;How likely is this worst case scenario?

In my new job I inherited a Pro 4100 with alot of misconfigured items in it. &nbsp;Instead of trying to troubleshoot each NAT, Address Object, and Access Rule, I am just going to start with a TZ190 that I have and build it from Scratch and reference the Pro 4100 for items that I know need to be configured.<br />
<br />
After I configure the TZ190 can I then backup the configuration and load it onto the Pro 4100 without any issues and it work correctly?

Can I backup the configuration of a Sonicwall TZ190 to a Sonicwall Pro 4100?

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

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.
