MVPHi RAQS,
Yes, a UCS backup includes almost everything, partitions as well. See https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13132 for details.

RAQSHi Mike, Thanks for your help. So need to go to each partition and take backup instead of that i can take backup in common partition and it will include information of all partitions ? Regards, RAQS- Mike757
No, no need. If in doubt, download the file and open it on your computer, although the extension is ucs, it's actually a tar.gz. You'll see it includes everything inside /config, including non-default partition folders and files.
