Configuration

In Configuration > Revisions, you can manage FortiGate revisions. This feature is only available for FortiGates with a subscription. For a FortiGate with a subscription, Configuration > Revisions displays the number of revisions and last backup time.

You can click a FortiGate, then click Manage revisions to view detailed revision history for that FortiGate.

To back up a configuration:

1. Go to Configuration > Revisions.
2. Click the desired FortiGate.
3. Click Manage revisions.
4. Click Backup config.

To schedule an automatic backup:

1. Go to Configuration > Revisions.
2. Click the desired FortiGate.
3. Click Manage revisions.
4. Click Schedule auto-backup.
5. If automatic backup is disabled, click Enable.
6. For Backup interval, select Session, Daily, or Weekly.

   Option	Description
   Session	The default session duration is 600 seconds. For example, if you modify FortiGate settings at 10:00 AM, FortiGate Cloud schedules an auto backup in 600 seconds. If no further setting changes occur within the 600 seconds, FortiGate Cloud performs an auto backup at 10:10 AM. However, if you make additional changes to the settings, for example, at 10:05 AM, this resets the timer and FortiGate Cloud schedules an auto backup for 600 seconds after 10:05 AM. FortiGate Cloud keeps every backup revision for all sessions in one day.
   Daily	Automatically backs up the configuration once per day.
   Weekly	Automatically backs up the configuration once per week.

7. (Optional) When a Daily or Weekly interval is selected, you can enable Backup when config change to perform an auto backup only if the configuration has changed. If no configuration changes occur during the interval, FortiGate Cloud does not perform the daily or weekly backup.
8. (Optional) Enable Backup mail notification to specify an email address that will receive a notification when a backup occurs. The notification email does not include a copy of the backup revision. From the Mail notification language dropdown list, select the desired language for the notification email.
