How to take a backup via CLI?

TSOL — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 02:33:10 GMT

Hello Team,

We are currently operating with a Smart-1 Cloud and one Quantum Spark 1600 appliance.
We are planning to replace the Spark 1600 with a Quantum 9200.

We are aware that a backup can be taken via the Gaia Embedded WebUI (Device > Backup),
but understand that the backup files obtained from the Spark 1600 are not compatible with Quantum appliances running Gaia OS.

As for the security policy, we plan to install it on the new Quantum 9100 from Smart-1 Cloud, so that part is covered.

However, we are looking for a CLI-based method to extract configuration related to the following:

Network settings (interfaces, routes, DNS, etc.)
Dynamic routing (e.g., OSPF)
SNMP
Any other relevant system configuration

Could you please advise on the best approach or commands to export such settings from the Spark 1600?

Thank you in advance for your support.

[clish]# show config

See https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/SMB-Gateways-Spark/Configuration-transfer-between-different-SMB-models/m-p/38898

You will not be able to import this data to GAiA, but it contains the readable configuration.
