Hello, The situation is as follows. I have a Fortimanager appliance and a Fortimanager VM with an unlimited license. I'm currently trying to export the settings and policies from the appliance to the VM so I can remove some unwanted policies and then export them to another appliance. The problems is that the restore is constantly failing saying that "Restoration process failed due to invalid backup file". I tried to debug the process trough the console and all I get is an error 902 Any ideas? Thank you

Hello, it is not clear to me what you are restoring. Could you give more details? Thank you

We are currently segregating an infrastructure and some policies in the Fortigates belong to different sites. The idea is to retrieve a backup from the Fortimanager 200 currently in production, restore it in a Fortimanager VM-64 and trim all the policies that we don't need. When we try to restore from the .dat file I get that error.

Ok, and what do you want to get from that backup? Is it not easier to configure the manager again and re-import the fgt config from zero into the ADOM?
