automatic backup to external server

hello,

 

 

Is it possible to use a ssh user with read access for automatic backup configuration of BIGIP to external server.

 

 

If yes, i have created a user with read access but i did not find its directory in /var/ssh to put the public key of external server in authorized_key file.

 

 

thank you for your help.

    yes i read,

     

     

    but the connection ssh from the remote backup server to BIG IP doesn't work.

     

    I put the server's public key in the directory of the user .ssh/authorized_key

     

    and when i do : sh run sshd

     

    i have this :

     

    sys sshd {

     

    include "AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys"

     

    }

     

     

    Should i do something else to make it work ?

     

     

    thanks,
