Hi

The Migrate Tools that you will use for the export, also have a flag the allows you to also export all of the logs from the Security Management Server.

Just run $FWDIR/bin/upgrade_tools/migrate to see the full usage:

Use the migrate utility to export and import Check Point Security Management Server database.
Usage: migrate [OPTIONS]
Action (required parameter):
     export - exports database.
     import - imports database.
Options (optional parameters):
          -l - Export/import logs without log indexes.
          -x - Export/import logs with log indexes.
                 Note: only closed logs are exported/imported.
          -f - Filter private data.
                Note: option is valid for export mode only.
          -n - Run non-interactively
          --exclude-uepm-postgres-db - skip over backup/restore of PostgreSQL.
          --include-uepm-msi-files - export/import the uepm msi files.
          --exclude-licenses - skip over backup/restore of licenses.
File (required parameter):
          Name of archived file to export/import database to/from.
          Path to archive should exist.

Run the utility either from the current directory or using
an absolute path.

If you don't want to take the logs as part of migrate export/import, the files can simply be copied across from $FWDIR/log between systems.
If you do this, you will need to reindex the logs.
