Hi folks, is there anyway to do backup (config.xml) using API functions?!
Best regards

currently no, but you can use a backup service like nextcloud to do automatic backups.

Specifically, you mean pull a config.xml from a running system via API call?

Yes @Franco,
The ideia is pull config.xml using API or HTTP method. I need put the backups files (config.xml) in my repository.

We are using the following to push config.xml + some other stuff via FTPS.
You can modify the upload logic to push elsewhere instead, like via ssh or git or something.
EDIT: When we migrated to opnsense, we changed from pull to push because we felt while more inconvenient it was best the firewalls initiate the backup rather than allowing external access that would be able to pull config.xml and such.

I've made a ticket we'll discuss internally.
