Automatic Backup of Fortigate1000C

[nmilot]

I' m looking for some help automating the backup for our Fortigate 1000C. We have a couple fortigate 800' s as well as a 100 in our network and I successfully back them all up nightly via kiwi cattools. Not having any luck with the 1000C. What does everyone else do? Thanks in advance.

I use a ssh in a script that pulls the config every day. e.g config sys global set admin-scp en end ( snippet of a sample script. You would list all fw-device or you could read these in from a source file ) #!/bin/bash # # # D=`date +%G%m%d+%s` # # scp admin@fw1:sys_config ~backup_user/fw1.$D.cfg than you run it under cron. You will need to craft public-key to automate this and apply the keys under the user on the fortigates. I' ve compile a post of other useful tricks and tips on my blog here; http://socpuppet.blogspot.com/2013/12/fortigate-tips-tricks-from-socpuppets.html
