Export-management to external file location

BarbervdH — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 08:24:05 GMT

For a disaster scenario we are looking to export a compressed file (management export) to a external file share.
I saw some scripts on github, but i would prefer if this could be done with the API from Checkpoint.

is there any way this could work?

Already tried:

export-management -file-path "external url" (this runs but does not create the output)

version running is 81.10

"export-management -file-path" assumes the local file system location of the export file. What you can do is script the export and transfer, then call it through API with "mgmt_cli run-script" command

Thx for the Tip, we eventually went with a other option where we mapped a smb share to a local folder, and used this path in the export, this works fine 🙂
