BIG-IP : tmsh script to retrieve bigip.conf

Sure mate. It's run from the BIG-IP's shell every night via a crontab entry:

[xxx@yyy:Active:Changes Pending] ~  crontab -l -u admin
30 3 * * * /config/BIG-IP_backup.sh

shell script:

!/bin/sh -x

tmsh save /sys ucs /var/tmp/BIG-IP_backup
export a=`date +"%y%m%d"`
export aa=$HOSTNAME.$a.ucs
export b=/var/tmp/$aa
mv /var/tmp/BIG-IP_backup.ucs $b

tar -cf /var/tmp/certs.tar /config/ssl
export ff=$HOSTNAME.$a.certs.tar
export f=/var/tmp/$ff
mv /var/tmp/certs.tar $f

export c=$HOSTNAME.$a.crontab
export cc=/var/tmp/$c
cp /etc/crontab $cc

export MName=1.2.3.4
export Log=/var/tmp/log.bigip

export UserName=SomeUserName
export UserPassword=SomePassWord

export Machine1f2=$aa
export Machine1f3=$c
export Machine1f4=$ff

ftp -nvd ${MName} 14 <<-END 1>&2 > ${Log}
