Hi All,

I have taken then backup FG configuration by using the scp client

command which i used to take the backup as below.

Sftp server -- > scp admin@<FortiGate_IP>:sys_config <location>

Question 1 : sys_config ( is it full configuration file as like what we are taking the normal backup config from GUI -- > admin --> configuration -- > backup -- > downloaded with xxxxxx.conf

Question 2 : Can we use the "sys_config" scp client backup file to restore the firewall configuration in the Manual GUI method admin --- > configuration -- > restore -- > upload -- > "sys_config"

Does it work or any problem with this restore proceedure ?

Hi @Mathiyarasan85 ,

- The answer would be yes to both the configuration. The backup config will be same as the GUI and you can use the same to restore the config on Firewall GUI.
