Backup to remote server
Backups of the database and other files occur automatically when the Backup Database and Purge Events scheduled tasks run. The backup files are stored on the local appliance.
The Administrator can additionally configure FortiNAC to place a copy of the database and other directories on an ftp and/or other remote server for safekeeping. The backup files are placed in time and date stamped files named DataBase_BackUp_YYYY-MM_DD_HH_mm_SS.gz.

When configuring the backup for a pair of appliances (FortiNAC Control Server and FortiNAC Application Server) the remote back up is only configured on the FortiNAC Control Server appliance. The backup files from both servers will be placed in the directory specified. The host name of the appliance will be prefixed to the backup filename.
