F5 Auto backup script for SCP for V10 and 11.

Hi All!

Thank you very much guys for your help. I have successfully achieved the requirement!!!

I have managed to transfer backup to the SCP server. Following is the final version of the script which made it working.

!/bin/bash
/admin/home/bigipbackup.sh

UCS Files will be saved to /var/local/ucs/
SCF Files will be saved to /var/local/scf/

Create current date/time stamp variable
DATETIME="`date +%Y_%m_%d`"
Note the correct ` character must be used above,
this can be found near the top left of most keyboards
just under the [ESCAPE] key.

Uncomment the following line for troubleshooting
echo $DATETIME

Create filename variable
UCS_FILENAME="${DATETIME}_$HOSTNAME"

Uncomment the following line for troubleshooting
echo $UCS_FILENAME

Create a UCS archive with the filename specified above
The file extension will be .ucs � will be available in the GUI
tmsh save sys ucs "${UCS_FILENAME}"

Also create an SCF file with the same filename
The file extension will be .scf � won�t be available in the GUI
tmsh save sys config file "${UCS_FILENAME}.scf"

If you don�t delete these files /var will become full fairly quickly
Change the +31 value (31 days) to whatever suits you
find /var/local/ucs/ �mtime 21 -delete

scp "/var/local/ucs/${UCS_FILENAME}.ucs" f5-user@10.254.55.22:/home/f5-user/tmp/S1DZILB01/
EOF

Without defining the source and destination complete path, it was giving different errors. Many thanks for sharing the script, that really helped.

Cheers!
