# Ansible Role: Backup Config
Role to collect the current device configurations and store it on the Ansible controller
with a user specific backup filename and path.
## Requirements
None.
## Role Variables
Available variables are listed below. For their default values, see `defaults/main.yml`:
provider_server: localhost
provider_server_port: 443
provider_user: admin
provider_password: secret
provider_validate_certs: no
provider_transport: rest
provider_timeout: 120
Establishes initial connection to your BIG-IQ. These values are substituted into
your ``provider`` module parameter.
filename
Specifies the filename to store configurations. Since this role backs up multiple files, the
multiple files created will be named the value specified here, however the extensions will
differ for the backed up files. For example, if ``filename`` is "backup", this role will
create ``backup.qkview`` and ``backup.ucs``.
path
Absolute or relative path of folder where config will be stored.
backup
Boolean flag to indicate if we need to backup configurations before overwriting it with new
configurations.
## Dependencies
