Automatic backup of BIGIP LTM

Here is the script in which I added the ftp upload section.

!/bin/bash
$DATE=`date "+%m_%d_%y"`

Here we create the ucs archive
tmsh save sys ucs $DATE

Here we copy it to your server with scp
scp /var/local/ucs/$DATE user@ip_server:path

Here we do the same with ftp
ftp -n your_server <

You just have to make some changes on the script upper.

With my script below, your UCS will have the date as filename.

Here it is :

!/bin/bash
$DATE=`date "+%m_%d_%y"`

Here we create the ucs archive
tmsh save sys ucs $DATE

Here we do the same with ftp
ftp -n your_server <

What you have to define is : Your_Username, Password and Backup_Directory

In crontab, you have 2 options :

The first one is to add your script in : /etc/cron.weekly/

0 4 * * 0 Your_script

It will run your script every week (on Sunday) at 4am.

I prefer to go with Config Backup for F5 utility its a VM appliance with GUI interface and very easy to manage.find it in below link http://sourceforge.net/projects/f5configbackup/

suggest to get an Manager Software like AppViewX or EM or Big iQ for basic maintenance of the F5s
