Hi..
Our network group is currently running checkpoint firewall 4.1 on a Solaris 2.7 OS. They are wanting to upgrade to the latest version, but would like for me to set up a failover server that they can use if the upgrade doesn't go well. I've installed the same OS on another box and made sure that the patch levels are the same and am ready to try to duplicate the existing server. My next step is to install checkpoint 4.1 on the failover server; my question is this: is it possible to export the data that has been collected thus far from the existing production server and then import it into the checkpoint database on the failover server using some sort of checkpoint utility? I think that this would be the best way to create the failover server w/o trying to set up some sort of mirroring between the two...
thanks,
Brantley
