Hi JRahm,
Digging more on remote server and the audit log, we found that when the remote copy (SCP) is running, iApp changed the path and add a dot . at the beginning of the path 🤔
type=EXECVE msg=audit(1690960028.843:897): argc=3 a0="scp" a1="-t" a2="./f5-backup"We removed the dot . in BACKUPDIRECTOR iApp section, updated iApp and it's finaly works 😊

AdminDo you have any diagnostic data on BIG-IP or remote server? I'm not sure what condition here is not covered in the iApp:
exec echo "f5.automated_backup iApp TMSHAPPNAME: $fname_log REMOTE COPY (SCP) STARTING" >> /var/tmp/scriptd.out
exec logger -p local0.info "f5.automated_backup iApp TMSHAPPNAME: $fname_log REMOTE COPY (SCP) STARTING"
if { [catch {exec $scriptfile}] } {
exec echo "f5.automated_backup iApp TMSHAPPNAME: $fname_log REMOTE COPY (SCP) FAILED ErrorCode: $errorCode" >> /var/tmp/scriptd.out
exec echo "f5.automated_backup iApp TMSHAPPNAME: $fname_log REMOTE COPY (SCP) FAILED ErrorInfo: $errorInfo" >> /var/tmp/scriptd.out
exec echo "f5.automated_backup iApp TMSHAPPNAME: $fname_log REMOTE COPY (SCP) FAILED (check for errors above)" >> /var/tmp/scriptd.out
exec logger -p local0.crit "f5.automated_backup iApp TMSHAPPNAME: $fname_log REMOTE COPY (SCP) FAILED (see /var/tmp/scriptd.out for errors)"
} else {
exec echo "f5.automated_backup iApp TMSHAPPNAME: $fname_log REMOTE COPY (SCP) SUCCEEDED" >> /var/tmp/scriptd.out
exec logger -p local0.notice "f5.automated_backup iApp TMSHAPPNAME: $fname_log REMOTE COPY (SCP) SUCCEEDED"
