Formatting USB Disks
FortiGate units with USB ports support USB disks for backing up and restoring
configurations.
FortiUSB and generic USB disks are supported, but the generic USB disk must be
formatted as a FAT16 disk. No other partition type is supported.
There are two ways that you can format the USB disk, either by using the CLI or a
Windows system. You can format the USB disk in the CLI using the command syntax,
exe usb-disk format
. When using a Windows system to format the disk, at the
command prompt type, “
format <drive_letter>: /FS:FAT /V:<drive_label>
”
where
<drive_letter>
is the letter of the connected USB drive you want to format, and
<drive_label>
is the name you want to give the USB drive for identification.
Managing configuration revisions
The
Revision Control
tab enables you to manage multiple versions of configuration files.
Revision control requires a configured central management server. This server can either
be a FortiManager unit or the FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service.
If central management is not configured on your FortiGate unit, a message appears to tell
you to do one of the following:
•
enable central management (see
“Central Management” on page 226
)
•
obtain a valid license.
When revision control is enabled on your FortiGate unit, and configurations have been
backed up, a list of saved revisions of those backed-up configurations appears.
To view the configuration revisions, go to
System > Maintenance > Revision Control
.

Download Debug Log
Download an encrypted debug log to a file. You can send this debug
log to Fortinet Technical Support to help diagnose problems with your
FortiGate unit.
Caution:
Formatting the USB disk deletes all information on the disk. Back up the
information on the USB disk before formatting to ensure all information on the disk is
recoverable.
