I have a system image, from which I would like to extract my WFC rules, so I can use them when I reinstall WFC.
What file are they stored in?

Windows firewall rules are located in the registry and not a file within the file system.

Export WFC rules. They are saved as a .wfw file.

You cannot mount a backup image and explore it to locate the firewall rules; you have to export and save the WFC rules before creating the image.
