I restored a backup (tar backup) af a SPLAT smartcenter server and two
firewalls to vmware. I didn't recognize big problems, just the network devices
where completly different than in the original setup.
But I would not do such "games" in productive environments.

Betreff: [FW-1] Can a SPLAT snapshot be restored on different hardware?
Can a SPLAT snapshot be restored on different hardware? I've seen mailing list
posts which state this won't work, but I've never seen official Check Point
documentation that addresses this. Is it guaranteed to always work, never work
or somewhere in between? It looks like the snapshot configuration file is
"/var/CPbackup/schemes/snapshot.cpbak". In this file it lists the files it
excludes, what it deletes, etc. After looking at this file the only potential
issues my untrained eyes see with restoring on different hardware are:
1. Looks like "/etc/modules.conf" is probably overwritten 2. Grub is
re-installed 3. Would need to verify what name is assigned to each physical
NIC (i.e.
which one is eth0, eth1, etc.).
For 1 I could manually restore a good modules.conf (if this is needed). I
don't know what (if any) problems could be caused by the number 2 grub
installation. Issue 3 is easy to verify/fix.
Has anyone reverted to a snapshot on different hardware? Any other
thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks,
Jim
