Hello HS08,

you can configure automation stitch on Fortigate and that require an FTP/sftp or tftp to send backup files. you can refer to this article which will help you to configure automation stitch on fortigate and ftp/sftp. How to send automated backups of the conf... - Fortinet Community

If you have FortiGate managed by Fortimanager/FortiAnalyzer you can refer to this article to set up automatic backup. https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiAnalyzer/Technical-Tip-How-to-send-automatic-and-scheduled-sy...

Or you can do the other way round: it's your server that periodically connects to the FortiGate(s) and fetches the config.

First you must enable SCP access:

config system global
set admin-scp enable

Then you connect to your unit using:

SCP Backup: scp admin@<FortiGate_IP>:sys_config <location>
SCP Restore: scp.exe -scp <path_to_config_file> admin@<FortiGate_IP>:fgt-restore-config
SCP Firmware Upgrade: scp <firmware.out> <admin-user>@<IP>:fgt-image

Hope that helps.
