Hello Omar

There is no need for certificate backup as when you are going to restore the backup it will automatically restore your certificate.

During backup process your certs are also backed up but if you want to be more careful you can save a copy of all certs.

you can request the certificate again from your provider for free.  Most providers will allow you to generate a new one if you choose not to restore the configuration.

Also, I got burned on the backup not having the certificate for a customer.  I say download the certificate.  Also If you have a internally signed cert on one Expressway and public on the edge, you need to load the root on the opposite.
