Hi cisco4ng, My ex staff did using "backup" command and the hardware was different. Thanks for your suggestion as we also suspect the backup file was incompatabile. We had already rebuilt the firewall from scratch and would took up your suggestion to use cpsnapshot. Thank you.

Are you using "backup" or "cpsnapshot"? There is a big difference between those two? I don't recall exactly what "backup" really does; however, "cpsnapshot" actually backups both the OS and checkpoint configuration so that you can restore it on an exactly hardware in case your current system crashes. >From the message up posted, it looks like the image you're trying to restore >is either bad or you're restoring it on a different machine than the previous one. In the future, go with cpsnapshot, imho. cisco4ng Jason Tan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi guys, My SPLAT machine (running on R55 platform) recently suffered a faulty motherboard crash and thus, replaced with a new machine. And due to management decision, also made use of this opportunity to upgrade to NGX platform. My ex staff had backup the current configuration to a .tgz format and when I use restore (via TFTP server) command on the NGX platfrom, the transfer had done but there was a error message. "Cannot complete the progress due to package compression errors." What does it imply? The backup was improperly done? Another question, let say I had backup the configuration within local SPLAT platform. How could I export the configuration via TFTP? Thank you.
