BigIP UCS Backup script; looking for some guidance on design

Hi williammyer1 . Nice work on your backup script! What you point out is true, however. You do need to adjust as you upgrade, and potentially manage device-specific data, so the opex for that is going to be higher. Ansible is a better approach for those reasons. You can use the bigip_ucs and bigip_ucs_fetch modules to create the ucs and download it to your ansible hub, then use/write an sftp module to move the files to their destination.
