Hello

i try to setup automatic backup over automation.
I use the cli command:

execute backup full-config ftp /Netdevice-BCK/BU-FWZ/BU-FWZ-test.cfg server user password

Executed in cli, it works fine.

When i try to start the command as automation stitch, the backup is not uploaded to the ftp server.
What am i missing?

Regards

Mario

0: config global
0: config system auto-script

0: end
0: end

Example on how to use automation stitches for scheduled backups can be found at https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-send-automated-backups-of-the-configuration/ta-p/198364 .

Also don't forget to switch to global context if you have VDOMs enabled.

set script " config global execute backup full-config ftp /Netdevice-BCK/BU-FWZ/BU-FWZ-test.cfg server user password"

Ah - I think you have VDOMs enabled?
In that case, your automation stitch script needs to look like this:

config global

execute backup full-config ftp /Netdevice-BCK/BU-FWZ/BU-FWZ-test.cfg server user password
-> or 'config vdom/edit <vdom>/exe backup [...]'
