The Revert, Save, and Load operations all work with firewall co nfigurations local to the firewall. The Export operations transfer configurations as XML-formatted files from the firewall to the host running the web interface browser. From your local machine, you can save the files as configuration backups. The Import operations transfer XML configuration files from the host running the web interface browser to the firewall. The XML file can be loaded as the candidate configuration or even be committed to becoming the running configuration. [Palo Alto Networks]

Selected Answer: A

A is correct: Export Named Configuration Snapshot This option exports the current running configuration, a candidate configuration snapshot, or a previously imported configuration (candidate or running). The firewall exports the configuration as an XML file with the specified name. You can save the snapshot in any network location. These exports often are used as backups. These XML files also can be used as templates for building other firewall configurations.
