config backup

On this page: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.2.0/best-practices/262994/performing-a-configuration-...

it says to backup from GUI, Go to Dashboard > On the System Information widget, select Backup next to System Configuration.

But my System widget doesn't have such options, see attached.

It's just another documentation error since this part of GUI changes almost every major version. At least my 6.2.7 shows the same as yours. Some documentations copied from an older version didn't get necessary updates.

The config backup and restore is under your username with avatar on the top right corner.

Avatar/username->Configuration->Backup.
