Automatic Backup for LTM+ASM+APM

Here's another version. That one will generate a plain-text .scf (for grepping things), a tarred .scf (for archiving) and an .ucs archive (for backup/restore) and upload all of them to an scp remote server. Locally (in shared/backups/), files of the last 14 days are kept. Just put this script into /etc/cron.daily and make it executable. Please note that you will need to reinstall both script and ssh key after system upgrades!

 !/bin/bash
 
  adapt variable settings here
 
 local_dir=/shared/backup
 remote_ip=1.2.3.4
 remote_user=my_upload_user
 remote_dir=/some/path/to/backups
 ssh_key=/config/ssh/my_secret_private.key
 
  do not change anything below
 
 datestring=$(date +%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S)
 hoststring=$(tmsh list sys global-settings hostname | grep hostname | awk '{print $2}' | awk -F'.' '{print $1}')
 scffilename=$hoststring"_"$datestring"_backup.scf"
 ucsfilename=$hoststring"_"$datestring"_backup.ucs"
 scffilecompletepath=$local_dir"/"$scffilename
 ucsfilecompletepath=$local_dir"/"$ucsfilename
 test -d $local_dir || mkdir $local_dir
 tmsh save sys config
 tmsh save sys config file $scffilecompletepath
 tmsh save sys ucs $ucsfilecompletepath
 find $local_dir -mtime +14 -delete
 scp -i $ssh_key $scffilecompletepath $remote_user@$remote_ip:$remote_dir
 scp -i $ssh_key $scffilecompletepath".tar" $remote_user@$remote_ip:$remote_dir
 scp -i $ssh_key $ucsfilecompletepath $remote_user@$remote_ip:$remote_dir
