backup
Back up the FortiGate configuration files, logs, or
IPS user-defined signatures file to a TFTP or FTP
server, USB disk, or a management station.
Management stations can either be a FortiManager
unit, or FortiGuard Analysis and Management
Service. For more information, see system
fortiguard or system central-management.
When virtual domain configuration is enabled (in
system global, vdom-admin is enabled), the
content of the backup file depends on the
administrator account that created it.
• A backup of the system configuration from the
super admin account contains the global
settings and the settings for all of the VDOMs.
Only the super admin can restore the
configuration from this file.
• When you back up the system configuration
from a regular administrator account, the
backup file contains the global settings and the
settings for the VDOM to which the
administrator belongs. Only a regular
administrator account can restore the
configuration from this file.
