I think this may shed some light: a) Upgrade export deals with Check Point configuration. Not the OS configuration. Thus, no interface, routing, etc. information is held on the resulting file. This is because this configuration can be restored in a different OS and platform as well. b) The SPLAT backup command saves all the OS configuration as well. You are supposed to restore this configuration only if the new machine where you are restoring is "equivalent". This is, the same amount and order for the NICs and other devices. So, If the machine is not equivalent, would be much better if you build the OS configuration from the scratch (may be using as an aid the backup you did in the original machine(, and then over it you restore the configuration you saved using upgrade_export... As you have 2 boxes, you can always help yourself in the process configuring the OS in the secondary machine without actually affecting the production one... Hope this helps. ================================================= 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] =================================================
