Problem this snippet solves:

This script makes a backup of all iRules of every host in the tuple. It will create a folder with the hostname/partition and there a file for every iRule.

How to use this snippet:

Change parameters in multi-backup.py

host:$ python ./multi-backup.py

Code :

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

"""
Used to backup iRules on all F5 Loadbalancers
