This article does **not** apply to 60000 / 40000 Scalable Chassis Appliances. **Check Point always recommends to upgrade to the most recent Recommended Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator Take.** ### Jumbo Hotfix Accumulators |-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Version | Recommended Take | | **R82.10 Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator** | **[Link](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R82.10/Default.htm)** | | **R82 Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator** | [**Link**](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R82/Default.htm) | | **R81.20 Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator** | [**Link**](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R81.20/Default.htm) | Click Here to Show the Entire Section * **What is the difference between Latest Jumbo Hotfix Take and Recommended Take?** > Latest (formerly, Ongoing) - Early Adoption Take > Recommended (formerly, GA) - General Availability Take > > Each Jumbo Hotfix is initially released as the Latest Take. Typically, a Latest Take becomes the Recommended Take approximately 3--4 weeks after release, provided it meets our quality and stability criteria. > > If a critical issue is identified during this period, the Latest Take may be replaced by a newer take. In such cases, the new take will undergo validation and, if it meets the required criteria, will become the Recommended Take shortly after. > > The decision to designate a take as Recommended is based on several KPIs, including customer adoption, stability, field feedback, and more > >
> * **I am planning to upgrade to the next main-train version. How can I be sure I will not lose fixes between Jumbo Hotfix Takes?** > Refer to [sk164258](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk164258) to check the compatibility of Jumbo Hotfix Takes between different releases. > * **How to check the Take number of the currently installed Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator (if it is installed)?** > 1. On R81.x and higher with Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator, run this command in the Expert mode: > > `cpinfo -y all` > 2. In Gaia Portal (CPUSE) \> Upgrades (CPUSE) \> Status and Actions. > Use the filter near the help icon and select "Installed" packages. > The installed Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator will appear in the list. > 3.

This includes: > * Configuration of Operating System > * Configuration of Check Point software > * Relevant Check Point database files > > All the relevant files can be collected by: > * Taking the snapshot of the whole system > * Collecting backup of the system (either in Clish, or in Gaia Portal) > * Collecting '`migrate export`' on Security Management Server > * Collecting '`mds backup export`' on Multi-Domain Security Management Server > > At the very least, the following files must be backed up on Gaia OS: > * `/config/db/initial` > * `/config/db/initial_db` > * `$CPDIR/registry/HKLM_registry.data*` > * All files that will be replaced by the given hotfix (refer to the hotfix release notes) > > If the system must be reverted to the state before installing the hotfix, use the collected backup / export / snapshot files. > > Related solutions: > * [sk108902 - Best Practices - Backup on Gaia OS](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk108902) > * [sk91400 - System Backup and Restore feature in Gaia](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk91400) > > Related document: The relevant Gaia Administration Guide - Chapter 'Maintenance' - System Configuration Backup. > >
