Porting config - FMC to FortiVM

[Fred SM]

Hi,
From what I've gathered there's approximately no way of exporting the config of the FMC other than the ACLs which I got using the below option:

So since there's no easy way of getting the config out of a FMC / Firepower, am I right in assuming that there's no better way to do this than painfully porting the config one rule, object, NAT etc. at a time?

I am pretty sure I know the answer which is "yes. ready, set, go fix!", but I would love to get some confirmation before going through too much of this path of painful exhaustion. 

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Fred

Turns out I found a solution to pulling out the config.
On the Firepower itself it's possible to run a "show startup-config" which outputs the majority of the config.
