Hello guys!
I have been receiving a backup of my Sophos XG configuration to an email every night for quite a while now, no problems whatsoever.
I wanted to setup a secondary option to send a weekly backup to an ftp server.
After applying the settings, however, the relevant settings on the email tab of the backup were lost.
What gives? I can't have both options active? It is either email of FTP? Or am I doing something stupid?
Thanks a lot!
Hello ChriZathens,
Thank you for reaching out to the community, the options available are for one at a time:
Either local, FTP or email - Simultaneously you can take with the local, email or FTP but pre-configured automatic will work only with one option at a time.
Thanks & Regards,

Great, thanks for the confirmation! I would personally prefer to have more than one automatic option (to be able to send periodically to another location, too). But I guess it is what it is. I hope devs will consider adding this option. 
Thanks again!

I would like to schedule a backup to be sent to an ftp server on a weekly basis. So can't forward it automatically to the ftp server.
But I can always save the attachment from the email (or the GUI) manually to the FTP server, no big deal. And even if this idea is never implemented, no big deal, either. It is not that important.
It seemed rather strange though... I mean the fact that one schedule option cancels the other..
