ufw status backup as a file

  • 772

I can see the ufw status by typing and entering

sudo ufw status

I want to back up this as a file. Where does this information reside in as a file?

ufw

    It is in the files /etc/ufw/user.rules and /etc/ufw/user6.rules (although probably you should back up the whole of /etc/ufw/)

    Ex.

    $ sudo ufw status
Status: active

To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
22/tcp                     ALLOW       Anywhere                  
Samba                      ALLOW       Anywhere                  
22/tcp (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)             
Samba (v6)                 ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)

    corresponds to the IPv4 and IPv6 RULES sections as follows

    $ sudo sed '/RULES/,/END RULES/!d' /etc/ufw/user{,6}.rules
