Sorry to bump this thread, but been running into some issues.
Is it just me, or are the backups you get from SCP not the full backup of the device? I've only just noticed this now that I'm doing some analytics on the files themselves, but they aren't even close to full. On one device, a full backup from the GUI gets me a file with 40,000 lines. A scp backup using sys_config is just shy of 2,200. It doesn't have any vdoms. It's almost useless.
Is there a different command other than sys_config (or fgt-config) to get a proper, full backup?

Holy,
I've used the Putty Key Generation (Looking in "ProgramFiles\PuTTY" If you have putty installed). There is a variable "Key" on the script file. To create the user "bkp" you can use the config below:
config system admin edit "bkpusr" set trusthost1 "backup IP address only - for best security" set vdom "root" set ssh-public-key1 "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQEAhIasKun...." set password ****** next end

I've used the Putty Key Generation (Looking in "ProgramFiles\PuTTY" If you have putty installed). There is a variable "Key" on the script file. To create the user "bkp" you can use the config below:
config system admin edit "bkpusr" set trusthost1 "backup IP address only - for best security" set vdom "root" set ssh-public-key1 "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQEAhIasKun...." set password ****** next end

Hello,
so in that case the user will use either ssh-public-key or password for authentication?
what if i want to use only password? what would be the Parameter to set in your script?
set=password ?
Thank you

You should only use the public key.
Did anyone figure out how to get the whole config with SCP for multiple vDoms ?
I get the whole config of my FGTs that have only one vDom but I also have two 300D in cluster A-A with 2 vDoms and I only get the config of one vDom with either fgt-config or sys_config.
Thank you,

I got an answer from TAC. I have to use a read-write user in order to have the whole config with multiple vDoms. The read-only user doesn't have access to the global mode therefore can't get the whole config.

Will for me the fgt-config pulls the complete configs ( full ) with vdoms.
scp <myuser>@1.1.1.1:fgt-config ./
So anything with fgt-config in the name will pull the full cfg.
e.g ( using fgt-config2 the 2 doesn't matter ;) )
scp -P 2022 admin@10.10.80.1:fgt-config2 ./ admin@10.10.80.1's password: fgt-config 100% 371KB 37.1KB/s 00:10
So anything with fgt-config or sys_config no matter what the spelling works.
kfelix$ scp -P 2022 admin@10.10.80.1:custB/sys_config ./ admin@10.10.80.1's password: sys_config 100% 371KB 33.7KB/s 00:11
kfelix$ scp -P 2022 admin@10.10.80.1:sys_config-blhblhlah ./ admin@10.10.80.1's password: sys_config 100% 371KB 37.1KB/s 00:10

IMHO both sys_config and fgt-config is not FULL BACKUP
Both sys_config and fgt-config are the same files
here how to test
in Forti CLI
# show full-configuration | grep ssh-public-key1 set ssh-public-key1 "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQEAhgCSKwiNYG7YDE0QUm2mefS8oq89dvms1+ArW/vRZ2j2AIl9a/NRMIK7whvUstVWD60HVWcGAlzpIYnCMZm3d82xifCJgSsi2QamWKzvHG27EPmn2KmXJTFdINcvK60tih89ebxGN3sPX3nv/LlyX5p3gmvcGyW019ipTEo5zFN0aMYSrkg5Xiuw3xFZhGYgNxRpSLNf1IwGcacTq+XMx58kic1QRNEnqgUrmIM1ODLpfaWm3ecq6NVTfa2UcIjPQXaweFpEgtViN5rtOi+z0oE7wm1RpbA+bM6vHeJHlBsigFqa/0Z9EY2DXtYwCM+IYzgXWF6zxtloAixDQrqi3w==" I didn't get any "ssh-public-key1" result from sys_config, fgt-config or (GUI/admin/Configuration/Backup) backup result
QUESTIONS: 1. any other method to do full config backup
UPDATE1:
-this method got full backup
# execute backup full-config tftp clifull.bak 10.0.1.1
