Backup iApp questions

I'm fairly new to Big IP. I'm trying to automate backups of the config. We are running 11.4.1. I found an iApp (https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iapp.configuration_backup_scheduler_v11_2.ashx) and it seems to be working well. My problem is that it pushes the tar file to a direcoryton the Big IP device. How can I automate getting the backup files off of the device? Doesn't look like WinSCP has anything for scheduling/automating file copies. I'm not real Linux savvy but I know enough to get but. Need some guidance here.

 

Thank you, caseymnpc

    Hi,

     

    Maybe using an iCall will help since it includes scp which can send the backups to a remote location.
