Configuration backup settings
| Settings | Guidelines |
|---|---|
| Status | Select the check-box to enable backup. |
| Server | IP address or subdomain of the server to back-up the configuration. NOTE: FortiDDoS does not support folder selection in the address field. For example, “1.2.3.4/FortiDDoS” does not work. Only “1.2.3.4” or “backup.server.com” can be used. Most FTP servers can be set up to assign uploads to folders based on the IP address of the sender. |
