Cisco Firepower Task Scheduling

Cisco Firepower can be scheduled to do tasks automatically; this is very useful tool to help managing the Firepower in following items:

1. Backup
2. Updating CRL
3. Deploy Policies
4.NMAP Scan
5. Reporting
6.Downloading latest updates
7. Installing latest updates
8.Push Latest Updates
9.Update URL filtering database

For each item, you can use Firepower Scheduling tool to create a task that run for once or recurring

In this example I will create a Task that make a backup on Weekly basis, ok let's begin:

1. Login to Firepower
2. Go to System > Tools > Scheduling

3. Click Add Task
4. From the drop list select (Backup)
5. Filling the following information:

6. A backup profile can be created by going to System> tools >backup/restore > Backup Profile> create profile :  the profile will contain the remote server that you will use for your scheduled backups, for example below image, I have Storage path created in (System>Configuration>Remote Storage Device), and select backup configuration, and other options like email notification when backup is done is really good

7. Save and Go back to Schedule, you will see the task is created and added to the Calendar.

I hope this was helpful.
