Backing Up and Cloning Configurations

Troubleshooting for Backup
If the output is
Upload failed,
check the following scenarios:
When using TFTP, a file with the same name as the configuration file should exist on the
TFTP server.
When using FTP to save a configuration, anonymous FTP should be enabled in the FTP
server. The anonymous
ftp
login
should have
file list
and
file put
permission.
When using FTP to save a configuration, the
put
command should store the file in the
user-specified folder. (In some FTP server configuration, all files
put
in anonymous login
are stored in an incoming folder. This configuration should not be used).
Check Point should not drop packets sent to the TFTP/FTP server. Check whether FTP
and TFTP access to the TFTP/FTP server is working from root login.
Cloning a Configuration
1.
Log in as
root
to the Firewall and enter the command
clone
.
2.
Follow the procedure as shown below:
Once the cloning operation is completed, Check Point takes up to five minutes to re-sync its
configuration information.
3.
Verify whether both Firewalls are active.
