SCF Files

From RZWiki

Used with F5 Networks BigIP platforms, Single Configuration Files (SCFs) are flat text files containing both the LTM and management interface configuration. These files can be used as a configuration backup mechanism for a particular device or used to replicate device configuration to multiple devices (with minor modifications.)

Single Configuration Files (SCF) are located here by default: /var/local/scf/

The bigpipe import and bigpipe export commands are used to save and restore SCF files.

To backup a device's LTM configuration and a great number of Linux operating system configuration and other files use User Configuration Set (UCS) files instead of SCF files.
