Hello Hadmut, If you had done an upgrade_export before you had a problem you'd be able to restore using upgrade_import, but since this isn't the case you have to copy the files manually. The best way is to 1. create a new management station with the same version of checkpoint software and then 2. do a CPSTOP, copy the files into the relevant directories, then CPSTART (or a restart if you're extra cautious.
There's a phoneboy article on this but it appears to be down right now: http://www.phoneboy.com/filemgmt/visit.php?lid=4 There's a decent pdf here: http://www.attackprevention.com/ap/library/41toNG.pdf The files you need to copy over (on a 4.1 box) are: from $FWDIR/conf copy rulebases*, objects*, fwauth.*, masters, clients, gui-clients, *.W, *.pf, product.conf. From $FWDIR/database/ copy InternalCA.DB For NG you can probably just copy the entire $FWDIR/conf over, skipping the log directory as it's probably too big. Hope this helps.

Hi, > try to run the 'upgrade_export' tool from the upgrade utilities > from checkpoint. > all needed files will be included. Nice hint, but doesn't work. The problem is that I do not have the machine, just a backup of the Win2k partition. I can read it with my linux laptop, but I can't run any program on it. I tried to copy the partition to a new PC, but this is Windows. Just copying doesn't work, windows doesn't run. So I have the NG tree, and need to know which Files to copy or modify. regards Hadmut ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================= Vodafone Global Content Services Limited Registered Office: Vodafone House, The Connection, Newbury, Berkshire RG14 2FN Registered in England No. 4064873 This e-mail is for the addressee(s) only.
