To create a Fortigate Backup you only need to copy the sys_config via SCP from the Firewall.

The following describes the steps to do a backup and to setup the SSH/SCP on the Fortigate:

• Enable SSH Access on the Interface:

config system interface
edit <interface name>
set allowaccess ping https ssh
end

• Enable SCP on the firewall

config system global
set admin-scp enable
end

• Add Users Public Key

config system admin
edit admin
set ssh-public-key1 "ssh-rsa ... user@hostname.com"
next
end

• Backup using SCP

From Linux:

scp admin@<fortinet-ip-address>:fgt-config /backup

From Windows:

pscp admin@<fortinet-ip-address>:fgt-config /backup
