Re: [FW-1] Backup NG rulebases and objects
Its not in the gui you need to be in expert mode in the shell. The actual
script that it runs is called backup_start and is in /bin. I haven't as yet
figured out how/where they alias the command "backup" to this script though.
As Ivan pointed out this backup script backs up much more than just the conf
dir so it is definately the way to go. I use the results of this backup (or
rather my modifed one that doesn't stop and start) to sync a warm spare and
it has tested perfectly as a failover.
