F5 remote backup python script

Problem this snippet solves:

The python script is using the F5 iControlRest API to authenticate with remote authentication (Active directory, RADIUS,...) to obtain a token, create a timestamp UCS backup file, download the file locally and delete it from the F5 appliance.

Provide a way to backup F5 bigIP configuration and arhive the backup files on a remote location.

unfortunately, iControlRest for UCS backup lack documentation. I'm still searching for the option to encrypt the UCS file....

How to use this snippet:

python3 f5-backup.py --hostname
