Just ftp your fw1 configurations to a safe spot. If you loose
your firewall one, it takes a nominal amount of time to reinstall
the OS and install f1 and import your saved configs. Usually
easier then a backup since if you loose your disk alot of times
you need to install the os to restore from a backup anyhow.
Another favorite of mine is to use Norton GHOST and mirror the
disks on a base install with everything configured. stick the ghosted
drive in a closet for a while and should disaster strink pop in the
drive and up and running you go. (drives are cheap these days, so
this is rather affordable).
As far as backing up, firewalls are usually secured to a point where
its insecure to run a backup. On unix you can easily dump your filesystem
to a dump device through rsh or something you can open and close. On nt
well, just be prepared :)

Just curious...
What are you using to back up the actual firewall itself ?

Please respond to "Arie Gilboa"
Thanks for your answers.
As much as I understand, there are Clients and Server, which are connected
via TCP connections as follow:
From: 512-1024 To: 13782 and 13720 . But ho does initiate the connection
?. Clients with the data or the Server ?.
Thanks,
Arie Gilboa

Netback works as follows:
tcp 13782 and 13720 from ports 512-1024 on the server so the client needs
to be able to talk back to those ports 512-1024.
You have to define the ports in services. We use it and it works.
