Automatic scheduled backup TFTP

[ahp]

Hello, I'm trying to run an automatic scheduled backup of configuration on FortiSwitch 124E v6.2.1 via TFTP. I found manual only for FortiGates, where it says to use "auto-script", but my FortiSwitch haven't option like that.

I tried one time execution and it works fine with this command: "execute backup config tftp filename server_ip".

Have someone set up auto-backup on Switch?

I have several Forti equipments and I'm not aware of the existence of the auto-script outside the fortigates.

To do backups I use a linux cron to execute a batch script.

Something like this

#! /usr/bin/expect -f

set timeout 8000

set date [clock format [clock seconds] -format {%Y%m%d}]

spawn ssh <user>@<switch>

expect "password: "

send "<password>\r"

expect "<switch alias name> # "

send "execute backup config tftp $date-filename server_ip\r"

expect "# "

send "exit\r"

Great!

So simple and so efficiently.

Works perfect with my switches.

Thank you very much!
