Sophos XG backup methods

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.   

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!

You're welcome ChriZathens,

You can create the idea here and vote up for such a feature: ideas.sophos.com/.../330219-xg-firewall

Thanks again!

I upvoted an existing idea: ideas.sophos.com/.../11311182-improve-backup-operation

In the meantime why don’t you setup an automatic forwarding action in your mail account.

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..
