My nightly job connects to each firewall like this:
     ssh foo cf srole admin -c "config backup loc=local filename=foobar"

Prior to the upgrade, this would produce a directory
/var/backups/repository/foobar, in this directory there are two files:
  backup_info and "foobar.gz", the latter being a gzip compressed
POSIX tar archive.  This archive can be unpacked on any UNIX or PC
machine, and the contents examined.

After the 61204 upgrade, running the exact same command produces very
different results.  Now the "/var/backups/repository/foobar" directory
contains backup_info and a file named "foobar" (no .gz extension).
The "foobar" file is an uncompressed POSIX tar archive, holding two
files, backup_info and  backup_data.

Unlike the POSIX tar archive from earlier Sidewinder G2 versions, the
backup_data file is in  an unknown binary format, cannot be unpacked
or examined with any standard tools.
