USB Disks
FortiGate units with a USB interface support USB disks for backing up and
restoring configurations.
FortiUSB and generic USB disks are supported. However, the USB disk must be
formatted as a FAT16 disk. No other partition type is supported.
Note: Formatting your USB disk will delete all information on your USB disk.

prompt type “exe usb-disk format”.
To format your USB disk when it is connected to a Windows system, at the DOS
command prompt type “format : /FS:FAT
/V:“ where is the letter of the connected USB
drive you want to format, and is the name you want to give the USB
drive for identification.
Revision Control
Revision Control allows you to manage multiple versions of your FortiGate unit’s
configuration files. It requires a configured Central Management server. This
server can either be a FortiManager device or the FortiGuard Management
Service. To use the FortiGuard Management Service you must subscribe to it
through customer support.
If central management is not configured on your FortiGate unit, when you select
this option you will see a message telling you to:
• enable Central Management, see “Central Management” on page 173
• obtain a valid license
When revision control is enabled on your FortiGate unit you will be able to view a
list of saved revisions of your FortiGate unit’s configuration.
