    I'm assuming you're talking about your mgmt station, although you didn't
    specifically say. If you're religious about making DB revisions each time
    you push a policy, then you can backup the entire $FWDIR/conf/db_versions/
    directory structure. If your management station goes away, you can restore
    from these backups and SIC information will also be maintained between your
    mgmt station and FW endpoints.

    Cheers - Erick
