User for ASM Automated Backup Script

Hi Saidshow,

interesting question which I don't have an answer for. But... ;-)

... how about placing the script directly on your units and let the script push the backups to a file share. In this case you only need some user credentials to write onto your share.

A backup job could for an example be triggered via an anonymous GET request (or ask for some hardcoded credentials) through an iRule attached to an ordinary HTTP Virtual Server. Once the iRule is executed it would generate a specific log line, which triggers an iCall log-event and finally executes your backup script to generate the backups and store them on the file share...
