Backup and Restore from a USB key

Using the USB Auto-Install

42
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
Fortinet 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 using the CLI
1 Log into the CLI.
2 Enter the following command to backup the configuration files:
exec backup config usb <filename>
3 Enter the following command to check the configuration files are on the key:
exec usb-disk list
To restore configuration using the CLI
1 Log into the CLI.
2 Enter the following command to restore the configuration files:
exec restore image usb <filename>
The Fortinet unit responds with the following message:
This operation will replace the current firmware version!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)
3 Type y.
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
Fortinet 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 Fortinet unit before installing.
To configure the USB Auto-Install using the CLI
1 Log into the CLI.
2 Enter the following command:
config system auto-install
set default-config-file <filename>
set auto-intall-config {enable | disable}
set default-image-file <filename>
set auto-install-image {enable | disable}
end
