I backed up my Checkpoint 2000 Server with Microsoft backup wizard, it worked great! But isnt the IPSO image for unix? I am not sure if you can do that if it is unix. If it is windows, just use the backup wizard, and make the partitions the same size.

What version of Checkpoint? If it's NG, I believe you're out of luck. I was just recently looking into migrating the CP-NG rules and objects from IPSO to Unix, and I could only find one document that would state that in order to migrate managment you must go from like system to like system other wise it isn't supported by CP. I have heard about utilites that would do this, but I haven't found any that would work.
sorry, and good luck.
