upgrade_export utility

[iantaylor2100]

Hi I'd like to use the upgrade_export utility to backup my firewall automatically.

Has anyone managed to get this to work using a batch script or similar?

If so would appraciate your help.

Regards
Ian

Ive not used a script but have successfully done the export/import. If i remember it stops and starts the firewall services so it may not work in a script.

I dont think it stop / starts but if you dont do a stop before doing it there is the risk you might miss something.

Thanks for your messages.
I've ended up creating a script using the gtar and gzip which seems to work.

Thanks again
Ian
