The objective of this policy is to standardize and normalize product lifecycle practices to assist you in making an informed purchase, and support and upgrade decisions. All Check Point products except third-party products sold by Check Point are covered by this policy.
In addition, Check Point aims to support a minimum of two major versions of all software products. Check Point usually ends support for a major product version only when:.
Check Point provides a comprehensive support lifecycle for its appliances, including Software and Operating System support. Threat Emulation Private Cloud Appliances. Learn more on how to stay protected from the latest Ransomware Pandemic. Embedded Security Gateways Unsupported Products. These fixes may require a software upgrade by the customer End of support: Software upgrades will be supplied until 5 five years after Successor Product Availability Date Announcement to handle support issues.
Check Point will provide same or similar parts or full unit replacement when needed. From the R70 Upgrade guide page SecurePlatform provides the option of backing up the entire SecurePlatform operating system and all of its products using the snapshot command.
A snapshot of the system can be taken manually using the snapshot command or automatically during an upgrade procedure using the SafeUpgrade option. Having a snapshot of the entire operating system enables you to restore SecurePlatform if needed.
Similar to Backup and Restore, the Snapshot and Revert features ensure easy maintenance and management, even if a situation arises that demands that you undo an upgrade and revert to a previous deployment. Alternatively, snapshots can be stored locally. Note - The snapshot and revert commands are relevant only for reverting R70 to a previous version on SecurePlatform; because this involves reverting the entire platform. From the R70 Upgrade guide page Something need to be understood.
CP is an Irasel company and the documentation needs to be translated from Hebrew into English. Something might get lost in translation. Tried this on an appliance, and I can confirm that it works. I was using R65 and R Normally, this should work on an open server just the same, bugs notwithstanding. But what do you do when you have a dedicated logs server with GB of total disk space and GB in firewall logs? Is there a way to take a snapshot without including the log directory?
I only keep 1 days worth of logs on the log server. Can't do that on the dedicated log server. With the dedicated log server, I only search for live traffics. I have to say for the most part, running snapshot on the log server is a waste of time. If your log is properly exported everyday to an external database, who cares if the log server crashes. It can be rebuilt and re-SIC very quickly, in less than 30 minutes.
By doing snapshot and revert, it will probably takes more than 30 minutes, IMO. This is a job for backup. After that, all you need to do is run backup and configure that accordingly to save the important files logs in this case sounds like. But you can also try to restore snapshoot R65 on R70 -will also not possible Yes it is in documantation , but you should read between lines if you would like to known how it works.
Have you revert R The upgrade failed after it had begun upgrading the OS. When I attempted to revert to the snapshot I'd taken immediately before, it said that reverting from R70 to R65 was unsupported.
Checkpoint support agreed that I would need to reinstall R65, install the HFA, and then I'd be able to revert the snapshot. This was on an open server, not an appliance. In the end, I did a fresh install of R70 instead, which was probably the plan I should have started with. Most major upgrades not HFA or minor release require this.
It's usually in the pre-upgrade documentation. Unfortunately, we've gone through it several times and in virtually every case we ended up restoring the factory defaults on UTM-1 and going forward from there. On M-series, we had to re-install, the factory default didn't seem to work.
Important Caveat - all based on memory and right now my memory is shot as I'm using almost all of my spare time to study for the CISSP and previously valuable information such as this is falling out of my ear to make room for the topics to be covered in the test in about a week Please forgive my inexperience. I have inherited a network, which has a checkpoint firewall R I'm attempting to perform a backup to a tftp server. I'm entering "backup -d -t It appears to be transfering to the tftp server.
