In Fireware v12.2.1 or higher, backup images are stored on the Firebox until they are deleted manually or the Firebox is reset to factory-default settings.
In Fireware v12.5.2 and higher, you can back up and restore the Firebox configuration with WatchGuard Cloud. For more information, go to Manage Backup Images for Locally-Managed Fireboxes in WatchGuard Cloud.
When you use the Reset button or the CLI command restore factory-default all to reset the Firebox, all backup images stored on the Firebox are automatically deleted.
