Hello @AlexReviewit 

To transfer/convert Fortigate backup configuration, you can use FortiConverter.

FortiConverter can migrate configuration backup from old appliance to the new model appliance at the same Firmware version.

If you do not have the license, then you need to manually apply the configurations on the new FortiGate 60E.
