Roman_Melekh I would rather run the backup process locally on the F5 rather than having a device run remote commands and copy files off. You can do this all using the following link with the only catch being that every time you run a code upgrade you will most likely have to set it all up again. Luckily if you setup a step by step guide to this it should be easy enough to run each time you perform a code upgrade since they don't typically happen too often. You will need to know which remote system you will be copying your backups to but that should be easy enough.
