FortiGate Restore Configuration Revision

Here's a Fortinet link on how to save and restore config using revisions in a FortiGate firewall.

In FGT web GUI, click Profile name (upper right corner) > Configuration > Revision > Save Changes > optionally type a Comment.

The saved config includes all of the Virtual Domain (VDOM).

In FGT CLI, you use the execute revision list config and execute restore config flash commands. Just take note of the revision ID. The FGT will be rebooted in order to apply the config.
