You can’t, at least not very easily.
So http://www.rconfig.com/ is pretty cool.
Unfortunately / fortunately (depending on your perspective) the creator of it got a more busy job at Dell, and hasn’t really been working on it any more.
So, there is a fair amount of chatter about how to get it to work for this or that. But really, the easiest way is to use a Bash Script on a linux box.
Like noted here http://sickbits.net/automated-backups-of-a-sonicwall-nsa-or-other-device-w-expect/
or
Here http://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show_download/2543
The spiceworks script is a little more robust but same idea.
