Is it possible to backup trusted files on CIS7? I can’t find the file were it was saved on CIS6.

Where's the trusted vendor list?

There are 7 files which contain the TFL and the TVL (among other stuff). You have to copy over all 7 files (they have to be kept together). If you just copy over a couple files, the CIS installation gets corrupted. They are in .sqlite formats. The files are:

cisboost.sdb
cisboost.sdb-shm
cisboost.sdb-wal
cisdata.sdb
cisdata.sdb-shm
cisdata.sdb-wal
cislogs.sdb

In Win7, they are located here:

C:\ProgramData\Comodo\Firewall Pro\

I just updated 2 of my other computers. I copied over the 7 TFL-TVL files and everything worked out fine. The new CIS installation recognized the copied files and my TFL was populated as a clone of the previous machine. After copying the files, I ran the diagnostics in CIS and it reported that no problems were found. I think this method of saving/restoring the TFL is viable.

Vote for this “bug” if you would like the ability to import/export the TFL:

Thanks for the information

You’re welcome. Be aware that those files also include your logs and other things, so if you copy them over to restore your TFL, you will also be overwriting your other information. If you want to see what the files contain, you can use this free viewer (it runs as a stand-alone file, no installation necessary):
