Is possible to enable FTP and email backup at the same time?

Question

Hi!. It's possible this? All my firewalls have email scheduled backup. But now, I want to enable FTP without disabling email. 
 
 On the other hand, I have read this post and think it's an important feature for FTP backups. 
 Thanks.

As you've already know, enabling both isn't possible. However, if you need this functionality now, you could initiate an FTP upload via the API like this: import requests # Setup sophos_api_url = 'https://sophos:4444/webconsole/APIController' sophos_api_username = 'admin' sophos_api_password = 'password' # Prepare XML Request xml = f""" {sophos_api_username} {sophos_api_password} FTP 192.168.0.1 backups anonymous anonymous Test Never """ # Execute API Request response = requests.request('POST', sophos_api_url, files={"reqxml": (None, xml)}, verify=False) print(response.text) Of course, you'll need to execute such a script via a cron job or some kind of scheduler on an external system, which might not be exactly what you're looking for. T his script initiates a "Backup Now" action and should not disrupt any existing backup configurations.
