It's a step at a time. 6.314 to 7.000 is required. From there, you might be able to restore a backup to a 7.302 image. Has anyone tried that? If not, I definitely would be the turtle in this race!

I would simply take screenshots of the proxy configurations, etc... up2date the Version 6 install to the latest 6.3xx release available, then create an UNENCRYPTED (this is important) backup of the Version 6 configuration. I would download the latest Hardware Appliance ISO from Index of /ASG/v7/hardware_appliance/iso , and install it using a USB CD ROM. Just hook up the CDROM Drive, put the ISO in, and power up the machine. The ISO will automatically self-install, with the LCD display letting you know what the progress is of the install, should not take long at all with a 425.
After install, login to the 425 using https://192.168.0.1:4444 and just skip the wizard. Go to the Backup / Restore section, and use the Version 6 import tab to import your backup file. After that, go ahead and reconfigure the proxies, etc. for which the configuration is not imported from Version 6 (basically everything but the firewall and NAT rules).
You can use the automatic Version 6.3xx to Version 7.xx up2date feature in Version 6, but I find this method is quicker.
