Thanks!
We have never used the UTM device functionally as anything over an above the features offered by the new unit. If there is a script which can migrate the bulk of the settings, leaving a few odds and ends to be tidied up that would be wonderful. Migrating VPN config and certs would be really useful.
I was looking at a hex dump of the backup and thinking that even a full/detailed config report of every setting might even help. I can't say I've noticed the option to dump the config in human-readable format on the UTM. Failing that, I guess it will be a few hours hunting through all of the screens, jotting down settings, checking then reprogramming everything into the new FWR.
Given the end of life this year for the UTM series I guess there might be a number of hard-pressed IT guys in the same boat :)

Hi Marksmt,
I just got an information from our engineering. Unfortunately, we do not have any scripts or utilities to transfer configurations from UTMs to FVS series routers. As I have mentioned in my last post, they are two different router platforms since the UTM has a lot more features than the FVS series and there are also some features on the FVS that are not available on the UTM. The best thing to do is just to get a screenshot of the pages where there is configuration.
Thanks,
