Automatic Backup Size Problem

We have been sending our backups automatically by email, but they have now exceeded our email attachment size limit.  Is there a way to compress the backup size (database cleanup or something similar)?  Alternatively, can the backup be sent to a network share?  I know it can do FTP, but our FTP server is a very busy beast and we would prefer not to add another layer to it if possible.


Thanks.

    Hi ,

    Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the Sophos Community! 

    What are the firewall model number and current firmware versions on your firewall? What is the backup file size that you're having trouble sending through email? 

    There are only three possible options for configuration backup, and send it to a network share isn’t one of them. However, you could download the configuration backup locally(On a workstation) and send it to network shares. 

    Thanks,
