I want to back up the entire FortiGate device to FTP/TFTP, including all configuration files, hard disk logs, etc. so that I can restore and review the information when needed. Could you please let me know the command for this?

looks like it's the backup conf and log files, are there any command to perform full backup ?

Hi, If you opt for FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer, it can fully back up the config and the logs for you. Thanks,
