Scheduling configuration backup
Instead of backing up your configuration manually (see the previous sections), you can also configure a schedule to back up the configuration automatically to the FortiMail local hard drive or a remote FTP/SFTP server.
To schedule the configuration backup
1. Go to Maintenance > System > Configuration.
2. Under Scheduled Backup, configure the schedule time and the maximum backup number. When the maximum number is reached, the oldest version will be overwritten.
3. Enable Local backup if you want to back up locally.
4. Enable Remote backup and configure the FTP/SFTP server credentials if you want to back up remotely.
5. Click Apply.
