Hi @fakrulalam,
You are on the right track with the aci_config_snapshot module.
I do have to ask why not set up a daily backup and export?
Thats one of the first things I do when building out a fabric and it is important to get the backup off the fabric just in case something does happen to your controllers.
You can use the companion aci_config_rollback module to roll back to a snapshot but I think you may be looking for a full backup and restore and if so I would suggest setting up your fabric to do periodic backups off fabric and should anything happen to your fabric you can use the import option on the APICs. In general that is the DR plan and for daily operations I recommend using the snapshots.
Below is a quick example of a playbook using the snapshot module.
