  • Hey mate,

    I'm not aware of any built in function to take ship backups to a remote location. We use a cron job with the following bash script:

    !/bin/sh -x
    
    b config save /var/tmp/LTM_backup
    export a=`date +"%y%m%d"`
    export aa=$HOSTNAME.$a.ucs
    export b=/var/tmp/$aa
    mv /var/tmp/LTM_backup.ucs $b
    
    tar -cf /var/tmp/certs.tar /config/ssl
    export ff=$HOSTNAME.$a.certs.tar
    export f=/var/tmp/$ff
    mv /var/tmp/certs.tar $f
    
    export c=$HOSTNAME.$a.crontab
    export cc=/var/tmp/$c
    cp /etc/crontab $cc
    
    export MName=1.1.1.100
    export Log=/var/tmp/log.bigip
    
    export UserName=xxxx
    export UserPassword=xxxx
    
    export Machine1f2=$aa
    export Machine1f3=$c
    export Machine1f4=$ff
    
    ftp -nvd ${MName} 14 <<-END 1>&2 > ${Log}
    user ${UserName} ${UserPassword}
    bin
    passive
    put ${b} ${Machine1f2}
    put ${cc} ${Machine1f3}
    put ${f} ${Machine1f4}
    quit
    END
    rm -f ${b}
    rm -f ${cc}
    rm -f ${f}
    RTN_CODE=$?
    
    exit $RTN_CODE
    

    The script needs updating, but hopefully it gives you an idea 🙂
