Fortinet 207 FortiWeb 5.0 Patch 6 Administration Guide
To back up the configuration via the web UI
1. Log in to the web UI as the admin administrator.
Other administrator accounts do not have the required permissions.
2. Go to System > Maintenance > Backup & Restore.
The top of the page displays the date and time of the last backup. No date and time appears
if the configuration was never backed up, or you restored the firmware.
To access this part of the web UI, your administrator's account access profile must have
Read and Write permission to items in the Maintenance category. For details, see
“Permissions” on page 47.
3. In the Backup/Restore area, select Backup.
4. Select either:
•Backup CLI entire configuration — Back up the core configuration.
•Backup Web Protection Profile related configuration — Back up only the web protection
profiles.
This method does not include uploaded files such as:
• private keys
•certificates
• error pages
• vulnerability scan settings
If your configuration has these files, use either a full TFTP or FTP/SFTP backup instead. See “To
back up the configuration via the web UI to an FTP/SFTP server” on page 208 or “To back up
the configuration via the CLI to a TFTP server” on page 209.
This is not literally the entire configuration. It only contains the core configuration file,
comprised of a CLI script. It does not include uploaded files such as error pages and
private keys, nor vulnerability scan settings. If your configuration has these files, use
either a full TFTP or FTP/SFTP backup instead. See “To back up the configuration via the
web UI to an FTP/SFTP server” on page 208 or “To back up the configuration via the CLI
to a TFTP server” on page 209.
