60F config restore problems

I am backing up one 60F to another, which successfully worked earlier this week. I made some User security changes so I created another encrypted backup file and when I tried to restore it to my offline 60F it crashes it. 

 

I have repeated the process and then when to trying to reload from USB the configuration generates all kinds of errors on reboot. 

 

The only difference in the 60Fs is my online one is running 7.2.11 firmware and my offline is 7.6.3. I haven't been able to get the down time to upgrade the online 60F. This process worked earlier.

I would never uploading config from different version. Upgrade 7.2.11 to 7.6.3 first before copying the config to another.

You of course have to follow the upgrade path at the download page when you do the upgrade. Otherwise the exact same problem would happen.

Another alternative, you can try to downgrade the offline FGT to 7.2.11 and  restore the config, then you upgrade it to 7.6.3.
