To answer your first question, the appliance is a CentOS 6.5 distro. It was hardened accoring to the steps mentioned here. For security purposes I would recommend doing a yum update as soon as you download it as the CentOS distro has had quite a few a updates sense the VM image was posted.
As far as trying to make it backup other vendors, you would have to code it. There are 2 parts to the application, a python daemon running the backup logic and an Apache/PHP GUI. Both are tied to each other through a SQLite DB. The python daemon is interfacing with the BIG-IPs through the F5 iControl API.
