Description
How to perform UCS backup/restore to/from the S3 Bucket from the instance?
The bucket (similar to an autoscale deployment) has a backup folder. However, there is no documented mechanism to perform a backup from the instance.
I've tried to use the autoscale.js script (with options --device-group accross_az_failover_group and --cluster-action backup-ucs) but because there is no sqsURL defined, it fails.
Template

v5.7.1
Severity Level
Severity: 5
There is no built-in automation for backing up to S3 folder in the Standalone/Failover deployments. The Autoscale commands can't be used as specifically required as needed logic to strip all the instance specific config from the UCS so it loads on other instances. In Standalone/Failover, UCS backup can leverage traditional restoration procedures (manual, automated through external orchestration (ex. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/f5networks/f5_modules/bigip_ucs_module.html), etc.
Closing.
