Location of user.def in a Backup File

Hi

Does anyone know the location of the user.def file in a backup file?

You can open the backup file using 7zip on Windows or standard zip tools on linux

The backup must take a copy of the user.def files - where are they within the Backup file, as they do not appear to be in the $FWDIR/conf/ folder of the backup

Ive seen this for snapshots - https://community.checkpoint.com/fyrhh23835/attachments/fyrhh23835/appliances-and-gaia/3982/1/Check%20Point%20-%20Extracting%20files%20from%20a%20Gaia%20snapshot%20file.pdf

THanks

sk98239 is the main source of information about user.def.

In my R81.20 it is in cd $FWDIR/conf - as defined in fw1.cpbak the directory should be included in backup.
