Backup on FDM

[5010]

Hi everyone,

I know FDM supports scheduled backups, but from what I can tell they're only stored locally on the FTD. Unlike FMC, I don't see any option to configure remote storage for those scheduled backups.

Is there a supported way to automatically send FDM backups to a remote location (SFTP, SCP, etc.), or are scheduled backups limited to local storage on the FTD?

As far as I know, FDM-managed FTD scheduled backups are limited to local storage on the FTD itself. Unlike FMC, FDM does not provide a built-in option to configure a remote backup repository such as SFTP, SCP, NFS, or SMB for scheduled backups.

Hello,

If your FTD supporting SD-Card, you can use SD-Card otherwise you must implement Network Configuration Manager/Management system. This NCM tool can backup using API or SSH as supported. 
Also, you can implement some python script or API schedule calls to back up your FTD.

As noted by others, FDM is very limited in this (and other...) aspect.
