    Excellent idea. I'm going to make some tests on it. If you need anything from us, shout your thought here ;)

    Just set this up - I thought that the reboot question at the end of config could be better. It asks if you want to reboot without prompting for the correct answers. What I normally do it use something like: echo -e "Do you want to reboot? n/[y]:" and if they don't input n then reboot. ie echo -e "Do you want to reboot? n/[y]:" read yesno if [ x$yesno -ne xy ] then reboot fi Hope that makes some sense

      The backup job is a Python daemon. It's pretty much just a "while" loop that does a DB lookup every 10 seconds to see if it is time to back up. See f5backup.py line 101.

      Hi Eric, We have used this utility for a few years and it has been great for us. Thank you for putting it together. Currently we are receiving an error in the backup log only occurring on our publisher. I was wondering if you could provide some insight on why we are receving it. The other HA device is backing up without issue. Thanks for any info!

      It should. I dont think the iControl SOAP API calls it uses have changed since 11.3, which was the code version I was using when I was a customer. Once you get the appliance, do a sudo yum -y update on the CLI and reboot to make sure you have the latest Linux security patches.
