Download a UCS configuration file
You must first create a backup of your devices' user configuration set (UCS), or configure a backup schedule which specifies where to store downloaded UCS files. To download a device's UCS, you must be logged into BIG-IQ as a an administrator or have user access with backup download permission.
Download a device's UCS archive to locally, or externally save the configuration data. The UCS archive, by default, contains all of the files you need to restore your current configuration to a new system, including configuration files, the product license, local user accounts, and SSL certificate/key pairs. By default, the system saves the UCS archive file with a .ucs extension, if you do not include the extension in the file name. You can also specify a full path to the archive file.
