Also I used the following scripts to automate backup using SFTP and the sent an email if the upload failes. The local created backup files are automatically on the Big IP to save disk space.

!/bin/bash

DATE=

date "+%m_%d_%y"

Here we create the ucs archive and append the date

tmsh save sys ucs bigip.backup.$DATE

upload SFTP to SFTP_server

cd /var/local/ucs/ sftp backupuser@SFTP_server <

check if the upload has succeeded or failed. If failed mail error message

if [ $? -eq 0 ] then sleep 5 rm /var/local/ucs/bigip.backup.$DATE.ucs else ftp session failed mail -s "ftp backup file failed from BigIP" mail@mail.com < /dev/null fi
