A backup of the LoadMaster configuration can be taken by going to System Configuration > System Administration > Backup/Restore and clicking Create Backup File.

The configuration can be restored from this screen too. Note that the Virtual Service settings can be restored by selecting VS Configuration, and the rules can be restored by selecting LoadMaster Base Configuration.

Note: The base configuration preserves the IP configuration information. The IP configuration information will need to be reconfigured when you restore the LoadMaster Base Configuration.
Note: A WAF configuration can only be restored onto a LoadMaster with a WAF license.
Note: Legacy WAF was fully deprecated and removed from the LoadMaster in firmware version 7.2.61. If you restore a backup containing legacy WAF-enabled Virtual Services on 7.2.61 or above, these Virtual Services will be converted to use OWASP WAF with the default settings. For further details, refer to the: Converting from Legacy WAF to OWASP WAF.
Note: If you restore a backup taken on LoadMaster version 7.2.58 or below (with legacy Web Application Firewall (WAF) enabled on some Virtual Services) to a fresh install of 7.2.59 or above (where Legacy WAF is no longer available) - the LoadMaster will enable OWASP WAF on the affected Virtual Services with default WAF settings. If this happens, a message is displayed listing the Virtual Services and SubVSs that were affected. You should review these Virtual Services and make any modifications needed.
