I would like to add my vote as a user that would prefer NCM to backup the entire UCS backup file versus only the bigip.conf file.
In order to do a restore this is really what we need. The configuration file itself is helpful but is but a small subset of the data an F5 needs to run.
Not even able to get the regular backup working with v11 but as I don't know how useful this is I haven't spent a ton of effort doing so.
As it has been two years and some posts indicated this was urgent priority is there any update?
