Hi Muthukumar,
Please see here explains adding of devices.You can specify the whole management network range to prime discovery and credential details so it can discover
If the discovery is successful prime would archive the config at the first time. After that you need to schedule the configuration archive collection,here is the page in the guide for that.It backs up the configuration within Prime and it doesn't provide an easy way to export all the configs at once.
I myself use prime to rollout/review configs as I required,being able to display different versions is also a handy feature.however I export my configs to an offsite location to be able to access in an event of any network failures and I recommend you to do so too.what I meant was in an event of a network failure if you can't access prime you don't have access to your configs

Hi Muthukumar,
It also would require some additional CLI credentials for additional functionality support as device configurations updates and software image updates.

Hi Muthukumar,
They are
1. take the backup configuration for network devices from prime...
As far as I know there isn't a way to export all the device configs at once through prime GUI
2. Access the network devices from prime...
You should be able to access your devices in
Inventory > Device Management > Network Devices
3. Alert mail/message configuration
refer to the configuring Email setting section in the guide here as a starting point
