Remote FortiManager backup and restore options
Your FortiGate unit can be remotely managed by a FortiManager unit. The FortiGate unit
connects using the FortiGuard-FortiManager protocol. This protocol provides
communication between a FortiGate unit and a FortiManager unit, and runs over SSL
using IPv4/TCP port 541.
For detailed instructions on how to install a FortiManager unit, see the FortiManager Install
Guide.
After successfully connecting to the FortiManager unit from your FortiGate unit, you can
back up your configuration to the FortiManager unit. You can also restore your
configuration.
The automatic configuration backup is available only in local mode on the FortiManager
unit.
A list of revisions is displayed when restoring the configuration from a remote location.
The list allows you to choose the configuration to restore.
To view the basic backup and restore options, go to System > Maintenance >
Backup & Restore.
