FortiGate Plugin Update

The Restorepoint FortiGate plugin has been updated to support SCP for backup and restoration. Wherever possible, for security reasons SCP should be used to backup FortiGate devices; SCP also avoids TFTP back-connections for file transfers. Note that SCP may need to be enabled in the FortiGate UI or CLI.

The SCP restoration method differs slightly depending on the FortiOS version, but Restorepoint will use the appropriate method for each firmware version. Restorepoint supports FortiOS 3, 4 and 5. Please contact the Restorepoint Support Team for more information.
