Hello Experts, <br />
<br />
I have asa &nbsp;5525 with Firepower module and I want to shut it down gracefully and bring it up after few hours. What are the files do I need to backup - running-config and what else should I backup. <br />
<br />
Do you know what is the best practice to do this? <br />
<br />
Thank you,

ASA with Firepower shutdown

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.
