How do you backup your BigIP?

wschultz, that looks like a good start. You might want to consider using the 'b config save /path/to/output.file.ucs' command to create a complete archive of the BIG-IP configuration. The UCS archive created by the config save function contains the /config directory contents and much more.

 

 

I use the following command to include the hostname, version and date in the filename (.ucs is appended by the config save process):

 

 

b config save /shared/tmp/`hostname`_`b version|grep '^BIG-IP Version'|awk '{print $3}'`_`date +%Y%m%d`

 

 

You might also consider getting a full UCS archive from both units in the pair as the base network configuration differs between the two units.
