If you are reverting to a previous firmware version (for example, reverting from
FortiOS v3.0 to FortiOS v2.80), you might not be able to restore your previous
configuration from the backup up configuration file.
The FortiUSB key provides flexibility and control when backing up and restoring
configuration files. The FortiUSB key also enables you to have a single, secure
location for storing configuration files.
Use the FortiUSB key with the USB Auto-Install feature, automatically installing a
configuration file and a firmware image file on a system reboot. The USB
Auto-Install feature uses a configuration file and a firmware image file that is on
the FortiUSB key, and on a system reboot, checks if these files need to be
installed. If so, the FortiGate unit installs the configuration file and firmware image
file directly from the key to the unit.
Note: The FortiUSB key is purchased separately. The FortiGate unit only supports the
FortiUSB key available from Fortinet.
Use the FortiUSB key to either backup a configuration file or restore a
configuration file. You should always make sure the FortiUSB key is properly
install before proceeding since the FortiGate 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. However, an encrypted file is ineffective if selected for the USB
Auto-Install feature.
To backup configuration using the web-based manager
1 Go to System > Maintenance > Backup and Restore.
2 Select USB Disk from the backup configuration to list.
3 Enter a filename for the configuration file.
4 Select Backup.
