I would like to clarify what the key differences are between the backup/restore option and the checkpoint option.
What is the difference in terms of what information is retained?
Thanks in advance

Thanks Jonathon,
In terms of restoration in the event of a complete failure is there any difference? Ultimately in both cases could I start with vanilla devices/VMs and use those files to get back to exactly where I was?
I am running the automated backup to an external server in another part of the network and want to have confidence that I could quickly restore to known good configurations.
Regards
Mike

I think checkpoint feature is similar as revision control, so user may want to revert to a previous DB config (policy package etc), but I think is not for failed and restore purpose (so if FMG has disk issue for example, and that checkpoint file may also fail because they are stored on same disk)
considering restore case, we should use backup and backup file on a separate server
Thanks

Is there a way to force the schedule backup?
Different from "execute backup all-settings sftp 10.10.0.1 /backup/fm_full_config.cfg.tar.gz myid mypas"?
Thanks!
