Description
This article explains how to back up & restore the config file from an FTP server.
Solution
Commands for backing up the config to an FTP are mentioned below:
execute backup full-config ftp {string} {ftp server}[:ftp port] {user}{passwd}{passwd}
{string} <----- Configure file name (path) on the remote server.
{ftp server}[:ftp port] <----- FTP server IP or FQDN, can be attached with port.
{user} {passwd} <----- FTP username followed by the password.
{passwd} <----- Optional password to protect the backup content.
Find the below-mentioned example from CLI:

This operation will overwrite the current setting and could possibly reboot the system!
