Configuring auto-backup

You can configure the FortiAuthenticator to automatically perform configuration back ups to an FTP or SFTP server.

Even though the backup file is encrypted to prevent tampering, access to the FTP server should be restricted. This configuration file backup includes both the CLI and GUI configurations of FortiAuthenticator. The backed-up information includes users, user groups, FortiToken device list, authentication client list, LDAP directory tree, FSSO settings, remote LDAP and RADIUS, and certificates.

To configure automatic backups, go to System > Administration > Config Auto-backup.
