Configuration Backup Scheduler - v11.5.1

Problem this snippet solves:

Introduction

This iApp allows users to schedule backups in the GUI. The iApp will update a file in /etc/cron.d/ with the appropriate cron parameters depending on user needs. It does require a little work on the system:

  • In /shared/, create /shared/backups, /shared/backups/bin and /shared/backups/archives directories
  • Drop the f5backup.sh script (attached below along with the iApp) in the /shared/backups/bin directory you just created and make it executable. The script has been modified for tmsh, but is originally posted here in the Advanced Design and Configuration Wiki
