hi, I would like to know if there is a way for my fortigate 800c to backup the config automatically every time I apply changes or maybe every period of time?
Thank you,
Raz.

Yes, there is a way.

is there a way to do it in scp?
Hi there!
I posted it: https://forum.fortinet.com/tm.aspx?m=147363
1) Create a user with read only privilege in the Fortigate. ie: user backup, password: 1234 2) In a File Share (ie: D:\backup\), put PSCP.EXE and create a BAT file with this: set DESTINATION=D:\backup set FECHA=%date:~6,4%%date:~3,2%%date:~0,2% set LOG=D:\backup\backup.log echo Y|pscp -P 22 -pw 1234 backup@192.168.0.1:sys_config %DESTINATION%FORTIGATE%FECHA%.conf >> %LOG% 192.168.0.1 is the IP of your Fortigate. In the BAT file the user and password is stored in clear text, so that's why is necessary a read only user, but if you don't mind, you can use the admin user. 3) Create a schedule task in windows to execute the bat. In addition: Just check the SCP is enabled in your Fortigate: config system global set admin-scp enable end and of course, you have to download pscp: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html Hope it helps!
