Backup FTD on Firepower 4140 cluster

[AxRic]

Hi everyone.

Is there any way to backup a cluster of two FTD on Firepower 4140? As per Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide, Version 6.4 Backup is not supported for FTD: Clustered devices and container instances. So I was kind of wondering how can be backed up then? 

Regards.

try see under tools, you will find backup/restore ... see below :

Hi @MedTiti92 thanks for your reply. My HA devices are shown there and being backed up successfully, but the cluster one is not in that "Managed Device Backup" section. Like I said, as per the documentation, backup is not supported for FTD clustering, but it should be a way, I guess.

Hi @AxRic 

Did you manage to do the backup of the FTDs in cluster?

Thank you,

@laurathaqi it looks like there's no way of backing up FTD clusters via the FMC, as per Cisco's documentation.
