1. Create directory on BIG-IP /shared/ucs/ as root: mkdir /shared/ucs
2. Copy the backup script (backupucs) as root via SCP to /shared/backupucs and make it executable: chmod +x /shared/backupucs
3. Create a SSH public keys as root: ssh-keygen -t dsa
4. Export the local root public key for remote login on the target / backup server: ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub remote_user@your_backup_server
5. Modify cron on BIG-IP as root: crontab -e

cron tab for root

1-59/30 * * * * /usr/bin/diskmonitor

00 5 * * * /shared/backupucs

The following script will now be triggered by cron each morning 5 a.m..

A current .ucs file with hostname and timestamp in its name will be created and copied to the target server via SCP.

Files older than 7 days will be deleted.

Don´t forget to modify the passphrase. 😉

As the archive contains the private keys, encrypted export should be mandatory.

\! /bin/bash
    time=`date +%Y_%m_%d_%H%M`
