USG/ATP/VPN - How to download / backup the running configuration

In some cases a backup of the currently running configuration (config) should be created in order to have a backup available in an emergency or the support will ask you for analysis purposes about the running configuration (startup-config.conf).
This guide briefly shows where you can find the current configuration and how you can download it.

 

Login to the device and navigate to

Maintenance > File Manager > Configuration
