F5 /shared volume getting full

Hello SRT Admin,

One way we deal with this is to trigger the backup worker over the REST API, which is located at the

/mgmt/tm/shared/sys/backup

endpoint.

If you POST to

/mgmt/tm/shared/sys/backup

with a JSON payload of

{'file':,'action':'BACKUP'}

, replacing

with the name of your archive file, you should see a HTTP 202 response if the job was created successfully which will include some details about the job.

You can run a GET query for a running task using the

id

that was returned at the same endpoint:

/mgmt/tm/shared/sys/backup/

and check the status of the job.

Once completed you could retrieve it using SCP if needed.

Thanks.

Josh
