Backing up and restoring security settings

You can back up your existing security settings to an XML file so that you can restore them later, should you need to.

The backup and restore feature should not be used to share settings among different computers or to distribute security policies. To do so could cause an extremely high number of alerts to appear due to differences among computers, applications, and Windows processes.

The ability to backup and restore settings is only available in ZoneAlarm Plus, ZoneAlarm Pro, and ZoneAlarm Pro with Web Filtering.
