Data centre backup solutions which support Check Point R80

[Dooshiant_Dyall]

What Data Centre backup solutions support Check Point devices (both management and gateways)?

I noticed that Backbox is a preferred Check Point partner for large scale backups - https://www.checkpoint.com/downloads/Partners/sb-checkpoint-backbox.pdf 

Are there other solutions that are known to work well with Check Point R80 devices?

We use in-house solution but I saw and talked with Backbox CEO at CPX last year and he spent some time showing all the bells and whistles - looked really snazzy if you ask me!  If you have $$$ I would definitely go that way. I have some other customers using it and saying only good stuff

I’ve seen Restorepoint in the field. http://www.restorepoint.com/vendors/check-point-configuration-backup-and-restore

I wonder if we can use Ansible to create some custom scripts to be executed on expert mode to create backups.
