scheduled-backup-status : disable

FortiADC-VM (auto-backup) # set scheduled-backup-status enable

FortiADC-VM (auto-backup) # set scheduled-backup-day Monday

FortiADC-VM (auto-backup) # set scheduled-backup-time 03:30

FortiADC-VM (auto-backup) # set overwrite-config enable

FortiADC-VM (auto-backup) # show full

config system auto-backup

set scheduled-backup-status enable

set scheduled-backup-frequency weekly

set scheduled-backup-day Monday
