I' m trying to figure out how to backup over SCP. I' ve enabled ' admin-scp' in config sys global, but am now trying to actually figure out how to use it. Anyone able to get me started? Thanks.

Sorry to bump this thread, but been running into some issues.

Is it just me, or are the backups you get from SCP not the full backup of the device? I've only just noticed this now that I'm doing some analytics on the files themselves, but they aren't even close to full. On one device, a full backup from the GUI gets me a file with 40,000 lines. A scp backup using sys_config is just shy of 2,200. It doesn't have any vdoms. It's almost useless.

Is there a different command other than sys_config (or fgt-config) to get a proper, full backup?

Yes, the command "sys_config" is a full backup !

I tested and compared both methods.

My mustard on this:

I'm doing SCP backups for a couple of customer FGTs and it's both

- just the same as 'Backup' from the Dashboard

- NOT the full backup

The files just contain the commands to transform a factoryreset config into the running config. All default settings are left out.

And I'm not dealing with VDOMs. So if anybody knows how to elicit the config for all VDOMs on a FGT then please post.

ede_pfau,

I'm doing backups with a script Batch (DOS) running on the Windows scheduler. It's work fine for me.

Best regards.

Will for me the fgt-config pulls the complete configs ( full ) with vdoms.

scp <myuser>@1.1.1.1:fgt-config ./

So anything with fgt-config in the name will pull the full cfg.

e.g ( using fgt-config2 the 2 doesn't matter ;) )

scp -P 2022 admin@10.10.80.1:fgt-config2 ./ admin@10.10.80.1's password: fgt-config 100% 371KB 37.1KB/s 00:10

So anything with fgt-config or sys_config no matter what the spelling works.

kfelix$ scp -P 2022 admin@10.10.80.1:custB/sys_config ./ admin@10.10.80.1's password: sys_config 100% 371KB 33.7KB/s 00:11

kfelix$ scp -P 2022 admin@10.10.80.1:sys_config-blhblhlah ./ admin@10.10.80.1's password: sys_config 100% 371KB 37.1KB/s 00:10

Can backup all configurations including default configurations ? I am using sys_config or fgt-config to include only the user's configuration, not the default configuration
