Dear, I have 02 questions, I appreciate your time:

1. Can you tell by graphical interface or commands, when was the last backup in fortigate v6.0? 2. Can backups be programmed in fortigate v6.0? For example every 7 days.

1. I don't think the FGT logs this anywhere

2. you cannot "program" backup on a FGT. But you can create some script and schedule it to run on your FGT. This could do a backup und place it somewhere via FTP. I saw some examples on the net.

The information about the last backup you can see under the system event logs

About the schedule, someone posted a valid solution on this link below:

saw on the same post that you can create the scripts directly on Fortigate:

config system auto-script edit "backup" set interval (secs) set repeat () set start auto set script "execute backup config tftp config.txt x.x.x.x" next end

HELLO EVERYONE,

What's the best way to use Fortimanager as kind of a "back up" system for Fortigate. So if a Fortigate dies I can re-enroll it in the same ADOM in Fortimanager and download the config to it?

THANKS

execute backup management-station from the cli. Keep in mind the FGTMNGR always keeps revision for changes done thru this device
