Is it possible to copy or download the BMC configuration file automatically?

As the title says I'm searching for a way to copy or download the configuration file from the BMC and store it automatically.
I try to store all configuration files of some devices (router, switch, APs, NAS, UPS, ...) periodically. I. e. the configuration file of the NAS itself is just copied daily (thanks @Cyberjonk) and I try to do that for other devices as well.
Copying the config file of the access point and switch should work via SSH but is not finally tested.

I found "ipmi-config" which is part of the GNU FreeIPMI software but I'm not able to compile and use it.
As described in the man-page the following command should fetch the configuration and store it in a file:
ipmi-config -u USER -p PASSWORD -o -n FILENAME
Can anyone get this to work or is there another way to do that?

Thanks!
