Management Database Revert with Endpoint

[biskit]

I recently found out that (as per the Admin guide) it is not possible to do a database revision when the Management server also runs Endpoint server.

This caused me a big problem!

What have other people done in this situation?  The reasons for requiring the revert are complicated and not relevant.  It seems my only option was to import from the last "migrate export" backup.

Does anyone reading this at Check Point know if it is on the roadmap to support reverting when the SmartCenter also runs Endpoint server?

Is it documented anywhere that running Endpoint on the SmartCenter is a bad idea for this reason?  And maybe other reasons?

Let's start with the basics. Which admin guide you are referring to, and which version?

Ah, I meant to include that info!

It's R81.10.

One of the "Important" bullet points in this guide:  https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81.10/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81.10_SecurityManagement_AdminGuid...

Great, so you are basically talking about this page, see highlighted items:

So first, the DB revision limitation is clearly documented. The second best option is to run regular backups and to revert to one of them if required. Second arrow.
