FortiGate Next Generation Firewall utilizes purpose-built security processors and threat intelligence security services from FortiGuard labs to deliver top-rated protection and high performance, including encrypted traffic.
This article describes how to configure an auto script to daily backup the FortiGate config on a USB thumb drive.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
This option is only available in CLI:
Connect a USB to FortiGate.
Format the USB (to delete all files on it).
exec usb-disk format
Config the auto-script:
config system auto-script
edit Backup
set interval 86400 <----- 24 hours.
set repeat 0 <----- Indefinitely repeat.
set start auto
set script "execute backup config usb <backup_filename>"
set output-size 10 <- Optional.
next
end
The FortiGate will now, save a configuration backup daily to the USB. This option will not be available if there is no USB drive inserted in the USB port.
Check the files in the USB with the command 'exec usb-disk list'.
