You can back up the URL Exempt List by downloading it to a text file on the
management computer.
1 Go to Web Filter > URL Exempt.
2 Select Download URL Exempt List
The FortiGate unit downloads the list to a text file on the management computer. You
can specify a location to which to download the text file as well as a name for the text
file.
You can create a URL Exempt list in a text editor and then upload the text file to the
FortiGate unit. Add one URL or pattern to each line of the text file. The word or phrase
should be followed by a parameter specifying the status of the entry. If you do not add
this information to the text file, the FortiGate unit automatically enables all URLs and
patterns that are followed with a 1 or no number when you upload the text file.
