BackUP FTD configuration without any cisco tool

[AlexandrosMavridis]

Hi i am looking how i can keep backup from FTD when i have only ssh access,for example on a switch i do show run and i have almost all the infos to restore the switch but with the firepower i am not sure if its possible. 

In this case we dont use FMC and also FDM because for the customer i dont have any http access only ssh is allowed.

Any suggestions?

As far as I know this is not possible. The configuration consists not only of the running-configuration you see when executing "show running-config", but also numerous files and data structures that are stored across the underlying file system. You need https access to the device in order to be able to use the tools (FMC, FDM or even direct API) necessary to retrieve all the these bits in a coherent manner.

i think the same like you but i thought maybe there is a solution that i can think about this.

Here is a script python script to backup FDM, you'll need https connectivity.

As already mentioned, I don't believe it's not possible via ssh either.
