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.
Luca
