Are there any best practices for backing up a Fortigate and Fortimanager?

The best option is to enable automatic/scheduled backup on regular intervals.

Fortimanager has the revision history of the Fortigates which is also a backup of the fortigate. The revision history versions are included in the Fortimanager backup.

You can check them from Device Manager -> Device & Groups -> select a firewall -> Dasboard -> Configuration and installation -> Total Revision (and click on the icon to the right)

Hello @AUT_Maverick,

some of the best practices are:

 

>Perform regular backups at scheduled intervals depending on your network's changes and criticality,
Store backups in multiple locations, such as on a separate server, external storage, or cloud storage. This protects against data loss in case of hardware failure or disasters affecting one location.

Use automation stitch for automated backup for taking backup.

 

Thanks
