Restoring the configuration
You can use the following procedure to restore your FortiManager configuration from a backup file on your management computer. If your FortiManager unit is in HA mode, switch to Standalone mode.
 
The restore operation will temporarily disable the communication channel between FortiManager and all managed devices. This is a safety measure, in case any devices are being managed by another FortiManager. To re-enable the communication, please go to System Settings >Advanced >Advanced Settings and disable Offline Mode.
To restore the FortiManager configuration:
1. Go to System Settings > Dashboard.
2. In the System Information widget, under System Configuration, select [Restore]. The Restore dialog box appears; see Figure 17.
