Cron Job Question

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this question, but I don't see a general 4.x forum for sys admin questions. If there is a different forum, please let me know and I will post there.

 

 

Is is possible to create a cron job which will backup the system configuration to the UCS file in version 4.5.x? Right now I have to create it via the GUI. I would like to create a backup once a week for my systems.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

    This forum, as you alluded to, is intended for iRule questions. For general product questions like this, you'll want to get in touch with product support.

     

     

    However, there is certainly a way to save config files via the command line, that you should be able to cron without too much trouble. To quote from the manual:

     

     

    b config save /user/local/config_backup/my_conf

     

     

    This writes the file my_conf.ucs to the directory /user/local/config_backup.
