Migrating the configuration

You can back up the system of one FortiAnalyzer model, and then use the CLI and the FTP, SCP, or SFTP protocol to migrate the settings to another FortiAnalyzer model.

If you encrypted the FortiAnalyzer configuration file when you created it, you need the password to decrypt the configuration file when you migrate the file to another FortiAnalyzer model.

The execute migrate all-settings command migrates all configurations except the CLI system settings. These system settings must be manually copied from the original FortiAnalyzer model to the other FortiAnalyzer model.

To migrate the FortiAnalyzer configuration:

1. In one FortiAnalyzer model, go to System Settings > Dashboard.
2. Back up the system. See Backing up the system.
3. In the other FortiAnalyzer model, go to System Settings > Dashboard.

4. If the configuration file is for multiple ADOMs, enable Administrative Domains in the System Information widget before migrating.

5. Open the CLI Console, and enter the following command:

   execute migrate all-settings <ftp | scp | sftp> <server> <filepath> <user> <password> [cryptpasswd]

6. After migrating, update the CLI system settings, as needed.
