Export and Import a Complete Log Database (logdb)

Because the file for the entire log database is too large for an export or import to be practical on the following models, they do not support the scp export logdb or scp import logdb commands:

Panorama virtual appliance running Panorama 6.0 or later releases.
Panorama M-Series appliances (all releases).
PA-7000 Series firewall (all releases).

Export a log database to an SCP-enabled server using the scp export command in operational mode. When prompted, enter the password for your SCP server account.
```
admin@fw1> scp export logdb to <username@host:path_to_destination_filename>
```
For an SCP server running on Windows, the destination folder/filename path for both the export and import commands requires a drive letter followed by a colon. For example:
```
admin@fw1> scp export logdb to ccrisp@10.10.10.5:c:/fw-logs/fw1-logdb
```
Log in to the firewall on which to import a log database, and then enter the import command. When prompted, enter the password for your SCP server account.
```
admin@fw2> scp import logdb from <username@host:path_to_destination_filename>
```
For example (on a Windows-based SCP server):
```
admin@fw2> scp import logdb from ccrisp@10.10.10.5:c:/fw-logs/fw1-logdb
```
