Automate the backup of Managed firewalls from FortiManager

Hi,

 

  Is there any option for automating the backup of firewalls from Fortimanager. Individual firewall backup from firewall cli and manager backup from manager cli is known now. But is it possible to take all from FortiManager to an FTP or SCP folder ?

That is known, the question is about the feasibility to do from one single console!

jintrah_FTNT

yes, you can...FortiGate can do it by itself as you known or you can device FortiManager to do it using script, please see https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiManager/Technical-Tip-How-to-schedule-a-running-of-a-script-f...

hm I'd say you already have that as FortiManager keeps every single revision of your device config and it also keeps the policy package(s).

So if you have a backup of your FMG you also have backups of the FGT that are in FMG.
