Hello prem0069,

so vifi's solution is good and convincing. Here are two more ideas.

If you have a FortiManager, you can set up a Fortigate in backup mode. If you don't have a FortiManager yet, that costs money.... Maybe that's not suitable for you.

Option two would be free. If you have an Ansible server or AWX server on the network, you can create a playbook via Ansible and use the Fortigate's API. With the AWX server, you could schedule the backup times. However, I would only recommend this option if you already have an Ansible and AWX environment, as it would take some time to set up such an environment.

Ideally, I would like to see a solution where you could setup a secure, "Fortilink-style" connection from a Fortigate to a "Fortibackup" appliance (local or cloud) that would securely backup a Fortigate firewall's configuration.  SonicWALL has a feature like this already.
