Backing up the FortiAnalyzer hard disk
Before upgrading the FortiAnalyzer firmware, formatting the log disk or changing
the RAID configuration (on a FortiAnalyzer-400, FortiAnalyzer-800,
FortiAnalyzer-2000 and FortiAnalyzer-4000/4000A), it is extremely important that
you back up the log data first. Using the CLI, you can perform a global backup of
all log information to an FTP server.
To backup the log information on the FortiAnalyzer hard disk, use the CLI to enter
the following command:
execute backup logs <ftp_ip_address> <ftp_username>
<ftp_password> <ftp_dir>
Once the firmware upgrade or the RAID configuration is complete, you can restore
the log information to the FortiAnalyzer hard disk.
execute restore logs <device> <ftp_ip_address>
<ftp_username> <ftp_password> <ftp_dir>
Shutting down the FortiAnalyzer unit
When powering off the FortiAnalyzer unit, always shut down the unit using the
following procedures before disconnecting the power supply. By not following this
procedure you risk damaging the FortiAnalyzer hard disk.
To power off the FortiAnalyzer unit
1 From the web-based manager, go to System > Dashboard.
2 In the System Operation list, select Shut Down and select Go.
OR
from the CLI, enter:
execute shutdown
3 Disconnect the power supply.
Note: In the case of changing RAID configurations and formatting log disks, this command
is designed to backup and restore all logs from the FTP server.
Note: Before using the restore CLI command, ensure you add the devices for the logs first.
The command will not function without the devices to associate with the logs. For details on
adding devices, see the chapter “Devices” on page 65.
