Configuration Backups for F5

I started a project for configuration backup of F5 devices. I though I would share it here.   Project Page - https://sourceforge.net/projects/f5configbackup/   Packet Pusher Blog post - http://...

Hi, Did you worked on its internal Cron tab to schedule the backup job?

    The backup job is a Python daemon. It's pretty much just a "while" loop that does a DB lookup every 10 seconds to see if it is time to back up. See f5backup.py line 101.

    Hi Eric, We have used this utility for a few years and it has been great for us. Thank you for putting it together. Currently we are receiving an error in the backup log only occurring on our publisher. I was wondering if you could provide some insight on why we are receving it. The other HA device is backing up without issue. Thanks for any info!
