FMC->FDM migration

[Chess Norris]

Hello,

I have two Firepower 1010 appliances with FTD, one is brand new and the other one is already configured and managed by FMC. 

The new firewall should be managed localy with FDM and use the exact same configuration. 

I wonder if there's any way to export the configuration from FMC and then import it to FDM or if that's not suported?

There is an option to do a device backup from the FMC, but I'm not sure I can import it to FDM?

@Chess Norris unfortunately there is no migration tool from FMC to FDM. You might be able to export objects to CSV and import via python script. IMO, you should use FMC management where possible, FDM does not provide the same functionality.

Thanks. Most of our customers are using FMC, but some smaller customer use FDM. This was just for a lab to help one of our smaller customer with troubeshooting and I was thinking to just dupplicate my lab firewall that I manage with FMC to another lab firewall with FDM.
