Backup LTM ASM and APM log files to external FTP or tape drive

Hi,   Is it possible to backup all ltm, asm and apm logs stored under the /var/log/ltm folder in the BIG-IP to an external FTP or tape drive.   Can anyone please share their inputs.

    You can write bash scrip like below

    File name: script.sh

            !/bin/bash
            $1 is the file name
            usage:this_script script.sh 
            HOST='your host'
            USER="your user"
            PASSWD="pass"
            FILE="/var/log/*"
            FTPFILE=/FTP/LOG/
    
            ftp -n $HOST <
    
    
    Schedule crontab
            0 06 * * * /bin/execute/this/script.sh
