CheckPoint SPLAT schedule backup

For backup scheduling and transfert the backup through scp, we can use the following command

backup --sched on 12:00 -w 1 --scp backup_servr_ip_or_name username userpassword -path destination_path

Ex : backup --sched on 12:00 -w 1 --scp backupserver.totot.com titi tata -path /backup/firewall `/bin/data +%Y_%m_%d`

For a daily scheduling we need to change the crontab file with the crontab -e command :

mm yy * * * backup_sched sched
