Fortimanager VM snapshot Version 6.4.7

[rajamanickam]

Hi,

  Whether anybody has tried VM snapshot of Fortimanager (Without HA). If this is possible, once we restore the snapshot whether all the configuration, settings, logs of Fortimanager will be intact?. Since Fortimanager is a single platform which holds all the configurations of Fortigate, so would like to understand whether VM snapshot backup is enough to restore all fortigate configs, logs etc..

Hey rajamanickam,

as far as I know, if you take and later restore a FortiManager snapshot, you will have the previous configuration, ADOM, policy packages etc.

Reverting to a previous snapshot on FortiManager does not directly impact FortiGates - you would still have to push the older policy packages to FortiGates to return them to a previous configuration state.

As for logging - the FortiManager's logs would be affected by reverting to the snapshot; logs stored locally on FortiGate would NOT be affected.
