If export files work for you, you can check the contents (tar tzvf export_file.tgz)of the upgrade_export tgz file. You may mimic the filelist to your backup script. On the other side you may use expect (http://expect.nist.gov/) like interactive scripting utility.

My machines (FWs and Management) get backed up to tape nightly. But during the day the firewall policy is under heavy change. I remember in the FW-1 4.0 days there were a serious of important files you had to backup to be able to recreate a policy/objects/etc. My thinking is that if I lose my management station at 5 PM, I'd like to be able to build a new box (from scratch or tape backup), but restore the objects/rulebases from a very recent time, say 4 PM. So before I would just tar/zip up the important files, then ship them off to another box. But I don't know what those are under NG AI. I know there is an upgrade_export script. But it requires user input (saying yes), so I'm not sure how I could script/cron that? Anyone know what files to tar/zip, or how to make upgrade_export cron-able?
