Fortigate Device Backup
I would like to know, if there is a way to customize the commands used for backup (to add or remove something), or if new ways to backup a configuration can be added by the user.
I am currently using DE to backup Fortinet devices, but the only method that works with version 5.0 is SSH-TFTP, and with only one of the two available ways to do a backup (cli-config or full-config)
The main issue with the current script, is not only that you cannot select what to backup, but also the fact that you are copying the configuration of a security device, using a Highly Insecure method (TFTP)
There are several other ways to achieve the same objective with better security, but all of them would require a different script. SCP, FTP, or even capturing the output from the command that shows the config, would be better alternatives in terms of security.
So, Is there a way to create our own "conectors", or any plans to improve this in the product, thinking from the security point of view? The product is amazing, but forgeting security nowadays, can be a huge problem.
