To recover the Barracuda SecureEdge, format a USB flash drive and import the SecureEdge ISO image to the drive. A factory default is possible with this method. The factory default setting will reset the unit to its original factory configuration by erasing all previous settings on the unit. In addition, the Barracuda SecureEdge Manager allows you to download a bootstrap configuration for any sites, private edges, or IoT devices. If Zero Touch Deployment is not possible, you can provide a bootstrap configuration as CGW files during the Barracuda Firewall Install setup.
