Sending manual or automatic configuration revisions

The service can receive manual and automatic configuration backups when you change a licensed device’s configuration.

After the service receives the revisions, you can view or search them. You can also use a configuration revision to restore a device’s previous configuration, or to create a script. Use the procedures in “Creating scripts” on page 46 and “Restoring configuration revisions” on page 43.

You can manually send a configuration revision to the portal web site in one of the following ways:

•From the FortiGate web-based manager, select the Backup Configuration button in the upper right corner, select to back up to FortiGuard, and then select Backup.

•From the FortiGate web-based manager, select System > Maintenance > Backup & Restore, select to back up to FortiGuard, and then select Backup.

If you want to automatically send configuration revisions on administrator logout or timeout, enable the feature from System > Admin > Central Management in the FortiGate web-based manager. For more information, see “Configuring a device to use the service” on page 16.

Viewing configuration revisions

Configuration revisions can be viewed from the portal web site or the FortiGate web-based manager.

Configuration revisions will not appear on the portal web site until your devices are configured to send them. For more information, see “Sending manual or automatic configuration revisions” on page 39.

If automatic backups are configured, most configuration changes cause devices to make an automatic backup; however there are exceptions, which include VPN certificates, topology, FortiGuard license status, host name, high availability (HA) override and priority, and network interface media access control (MAC) address.

To view configuration revisions on the portal web site, go to Management > Device > Revision History.
