[Sidewinder] Command to export objects, rules, proxies, groups, and etc

[Sidewinder moderated discussion list]

To get everything he asked for on a 6.x sidewinder;
% cf proxy query > filename1
% cf acl query > filename2
% cf ipfilter query > filename3
% cf appfilter query > filename4

I do this regularly (most recently this past weekend!) for Disaster Recovery tests where the hardware is different in the DR location and thus config backups don't really work.  (When using this methodology to import the policy on the other sidewinder, you'll have to edit some of the duplicate default stuff out - cf will barf on the stuff that already exists.)

You'll have to manually massage the files if you want them in a pretty excel/csv format.  Otherwise, if you're just looking for active rules and/or network objects in tab-delimited format, the cf acl export works great.

In sw 7 use cf policy:

cf policy export [type=<rule|net_object>]
