Hi HarshadS,

Can you try this?

import requests
import json

url = "https://<mgmtip>/mgmt/tm/shared/sys/backup"

payload = json.dumps({
  "file":"myucs.ucs",
  "action":"RESTORE",
  "generation":0,
  "lastUpdateMicros":0
})
headers = {
  'X-F5-Auth-Token': '<token>',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

I didn't test it.
