Opening backup files

Stormshield backup files (.na or .na.enc extension) cannot be unzipped directly from a standard archive manager. Such files must be opened beforehand with a decbackup utility in command line, which can be found on every appliance (available in PATH or in the folder /usr/Firewall/sbin). This tool is also available in Linux, making it possible to open backup files, even when the user does not have an SNS appliance.

The syntax is the following:

decbackup -i backup.na/na.enc -o backup.tar.gz [-p <password>]

The output file is an archive that includes all of the appliance’s configuration files found in /usr/Firewall/ConfigFiles, as well as the directory if it is internal.
