You intend to upgrade a Check Point Gateway from R65 to R71. Prior to upgrading, you want to backup the gateway should there be any problems with the upgrade of the following allows for the gateway configuration to be completely backup into a manageable size in the least amount of time?
A.
Backup
B.
Snapshot
C.
Upgrade_export
D.
Database_revision
I should say “A-Backup” because of this part “…completely backup into a manageable size in the least amount of time”
Backup is smaller in size and much faster to do besides that it doesn’t cause any service disruption.
A snapshot backs up both Splat and the Checkpoint stuff, whilst the backup is Checkpoint only. Yes, Backup is therefore quicker than a snapshot, and smaller. the question doesn’t state if you are upgrading just Checkpoint, or Splat as well.
The question DOES say “COMPLETELY backed up”… so that implies a Snapshot. It also says “a manageable size in the least amount of time” (which is probably just trying to get you to select “upgrade_export!), which hints at Backup.
