Backup and restore configurations
FortiManager stores configuration files for backup and restore purposes. FortiManager also enables you to save revisions of configuration files. Configuration backups occur automatically when the administrator logs out, the administrator login session expires, or the FortiGate restarts. Administrators can also start a backup manually.
FortiManager also enables you to view differences between different configurations to view where changes have been made.
Configure the FortiGate as follows to support backing up the configuration to FortiManager:
config system central-management
set mode backup
set fortimanager-fds-override enable
set fmg "192.168.206.26"
end
On the FortiManager site, the ADOM that includes the FortiGate must be set to backup.
Enabling fortimanager-fds-override means that the FortiGate must use the FortiManager for FortiGuard updates and FortiGuard web filtering lookups.
