Backup of FMC and FTDs

[S891]

Hi,

I have vFMCs in a pri/standby mode that are managing FTDs on several 4100s and 2100 series Firepower pairs.

I have SolarWinds for Network Configuration Backups. How do I make sure that FMCs and FTDs configs are backed up on SolarWinds?

Is this same as backup and restore options provided by FMC?

@S891 Solarwinds NCM would not be able to backup the FMC/FTD.

You'd need to configure the FMC to send the backup to a remote location such as SCP, SMB/NFS. You could install an SFTP server on solarwinds or use a linux repository. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/70/configuration/guide/fpmc-config-guide-v70/backup_and_restore.html#Cisco_Reference.dita_129a869b-f59d-40c7-8326-96f50e1e126c
