Hi Sajaporn, Thanks for your feedback. I tried the command before but it does not work in NG FP2.
I even tried: fw cpmi_upgrade (Thanks to Torkel) but it does not work either. I'm currently waiting for a response from Check Point on the "correct" way of integrating backup rules into rulbases_5_0.fws. But till then, I have tried all the ways suggested from SecureKnowledge to no avail.
