Hypervisor snapshots cannot be used to restore a LoadMaster to a working state. The best way to back up your LoadMaster settings is by using the native backup and restore facility in the LoadMaster User Interface (UI) or Application Programming Interface (API).

To back up your LoadMaster configuration, follow these steps:

  1. In the main menu, go to System Configuration > System Administration > Backup/Restore.
  2. Click Create Backup File.

You can create a remote host for automated backups using SCP to save backups to a remote server.

For further details on backing up and restoring the LoadMaster configuration, including certificates and cipher sets, refer to the following links:
