Backup and Restore from a USB key

Use a USB key to either backup a configuration file or restore a configuration file. You should always make sure a USB key is properly install before proceeding since the FortiGate unit must recognize that the key is installed in its USB port.

Note: You can only save VPN certificates if you encrypt the file. Make sure the configuration encryption is enabled so you can save the VPN certificates with the configuration file. An encrypted file is ineffective if selected for the USB Auto-Install feature.

To backup configuration

1Go to System > Maintenance > Backup and Restore.

2Select USB Disk from the backup configuration to list.

3Enter a file name for the configuration file.

4Select Backup.

To restore configuration

1Go to System > Maintenance > Backup and Restore.

2Select USB Disk from the restore configuration from list.

3Select a backup configuration file from the list.

4Select Restore.

Using the USB Auto-Install

The USB Auto-Install feature automatically updates the FortiGate configuration file and image file on a system reboot. Also, this feature provides you with an additional backup if you are unable to save your system settings before shutting down or rebooting your FortiGate unit.

Note: You need an unencrypted configuration file for this feature. Also the default files, image.out and system.conf, must be in the root directory of the USB key.

Note: Make sure at least FortiOS v3.0MR1 is installed on the FortiGate unit before installing.

To configure the USB Auto-Install

1Go to System > Maintenance > Backup and Restore.

2Select the blue arrow to expand the Advanced options.

3Select the following:

On system restart, automatically update FortiGate configuration file if default file name is available on the USB disk.

On system restart, automatically update FortiGate firmware image if default image is available on the USB disk.

4Enter the configuration and image file names or use the default configuration filename (system.conf) and default image name (image.out).

5The default configuration filename should show in the Default configuration file name field.

6Select Apply.
