The goal is to restore a saved database from my PC to a new Fortinac build running Forti-OS v7.2.8.
Following this article.
Having two issues:
1- Using WinSCP, I connect to Fortinac, get authenticated, but it stalls out at "starting the session". Same result on multiple NAC appliances.
2- Looking at my directory structure in the linux shell, I do not even have this directory: "/bsc/campusMgr/master_loader/mysql/"
Any ideas ?
This guide is based on older version of FNAC running in CentOS. In FNAC-OS, Winscp can no longer be used but FNAC can still transfer files using SCP, FTP and TFTP, some details can be found here.
For the database restore there is a direct command that can be used:
# execute restore database scp
Usage: execute restore database scp <host> <username> <password> <backup>
Restore database using a remote database backup downloaded via scp
<host> Remote host
<username> Remote username
<password> Remote password
<backup> Path to database backup on remote host (.gz)
Also FTP or TFTP can be used to first copy the old database in this path '/bsc/backups/database/' and than use the local restore command: # execute restore database local
