Our management server Smart-1 is running at standalone mode, not have another HA standby for redundancy. If not having a decent backup for disaster recovery, our situation will be dangerous. Usually I do upgrade_export from command line and backup checkpoint from WebUI, then ftp both files out in a safe place. Image file at Smart-1 seems not exportable from appliance.
[Expert@CP-Management]# cd /opt/CPsuite-R75.20/fw1/bin/
or cd $FWDIR/bin
[Expert@CP-Management]# cd upgrade_tools/ [Expert@CP-Management]# dir migrate migrate.conf upgrade_export upgrade_import [Expert@CP-Management]# ./upgrade_export
‘upgrade_export’ and ‘upgrade_import’ have been replaced by the ‘migrate’ utility. Run ‘migrate’ to export and import the Check Point Security Management Server database. Running ‘migrate export’ is equivalent to ‘upgrade_export’. Running ‘migrate import’ is equivalent to ‘upgrade_import’.
[Expert@CP-Management]# ./migrate export
Use the migrate utility to export and import Check Point Security Management Server database.
Usage: migrate <ACTION> [OPTIONS] <FILE>

Note: Run the utility either from the current directory or using an absolute path.
Faq: Where is WebUI image file location? – no location
When an image is created blocks are written to the unpartitioned space, there is no actual file.
note (added on July 20 2012) for re-sizing WebUI Image partition: Found a good explanation regarding how to resize partition on R75 from Michael Thompson in Linedin Post
“Kernel version 2.6 supports online partition resizing, R75 is at version 2.6, to verify issue the command uname -r Depending on your appliance model, it should be outfitted with a 160GB HDD upwards which is should have physical volumes and logical volumes, issue the commands pvs – to view physical hdd config, take note of vg_splat volume group (VG) and free space available as this would indicate how much your vg_splat/lv_current volume can be resized to vgs – to view volume groups config, take note of number of logical volumes (LV) lvs – to view logical volumes df -h – to view mounted volumes, size, used and free space Now for resizing lvresize -L XXGB vg_splat/lv_current output should say Extending logical volume lv_current to XX.00 GB Logical volume lv_current successfully resized then issue resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg_splat-lv_current finally issue vgscan and df -h to verify successful resizing
As a side note, R65 requires offline resizing with a slightly more complicated procedure but can also be done.”
