Hello, everyone! My company recently purchased two Cisco 350 business switches for testing in our branches. However, I'm facing issues when it comes to configuring the switches to perform scheduled backups to a Linux server using the SCP protocol. Can anyone provide assistance?

- Can't be done on the device itself , yet Cisco Prime has support for them and can also take configuration backups ,

Prime seems a bit of overkill for only two switches

very basic is to use a script on the Linux server to fetch the configuration ?
this post uses linux ssh to execute commands on the switch Solved: Script to automate tasks - Cisco Community
you can modify this to execute "show running-config" only and save the configuration on the linux server

you can use Ansible (ansible.com) or rancid (rancid.org) as more advanced tools with better exception handling
