    I realize that this is an older question, but also realize that there are those that prefer to do things a bit old school.

     

    Things to remember:

     

    1. BigIP appliances run Linux.
    2. As a Linux base OS, it does support NFS mounts and crontab.
    3. Create a mount point on your backup storage system, then you can mount the partition on the BigIP device to make it available.
    4. Create a contab job to backup the ucs and scf files to the NFS mount created.
    5. In my case, this makes managing things quite simple as I can run scripts against the scf files and search for nodes that are being decommissioned without having to search via the gui.

    While it may be looked down on by some, keep in mind that *Nix devices have been doing this for many years with tar and nfs mounts.
