RE: Backup Checkpoint Firewall

I would use upgrade-export on the SmartCenter server to create backups.
This should get you everything you could ever hope to restore into a single
file.  It definitely meets the last two criteria, and it should be easy
enough to encrypt, since the actual export is a tar/gzip archive.  To
restore, you use the appropriately-named upgrade-import tool.

Subject: [fw-wiz] Backup Checkpoint Firewall
I am working on creating a secure means to backup a CheckPoint FW-1 with AI
firewall.  I have procedures for encrypting the information, but what is the
best way to get all of the configuration?  Here is what I would like to
have:

        Text output (preferred, I can encrypt to ASCII if needed)
        All configuration settings
        Easy way to import into a new installation

If this is possible, what would be the command to execute to get the backup
and the command to import it back in?  If it isn't possible, what is the
best way?
