This method does not include uploaded files such as: • private keys • certificates • error pages • WSDL files • W3C Schema • vulnerability scan settings If your configuration has these files, use either a full TFTP or FTP/SFTP backup instead. See “backup full-config” or “config system backup”. |
This command does not include settings that remain at their default values for the currently installed version of the firmware. If you require a backup that includes those settings, instead use “execute backup full-config”. |
Variable | Description | Default |
<filename_str> | Type the name of the file to be used for the backup file, such as FortiWeb_backup.conf. | No default. |
<tftp_ipv4> | Type the IP address of the TFTP server. | No default. |
{entire | profile} | Select either: • entire — Back up the core configuration file only. Note: This is not literally the entire configuration.

It does not include uploaded files such as error pages and private keys. • profile — Back up only the web protection profiles. | |

If you forget or lose the password, you will not be able to use that encrypted backup file. | No default. |
