Backup settings

Post by cornish »

Hi can anyone tell me if there is a way to backup all the settings so when you install csf on another server you can just upload a file ?

You would need a copy of /etc/csf/ and /usr/local/csf/tpl/ and restore those directories over the top of a fresh install to ensure everything is duplicated. Make sure both installs are running the same versions of csf beforehand.

If you only want the configuration itself, then you would only need to copy /etc/csf/csf.conf

One last thing, if you're unable to have both installs at the same version, you can still do the above, but force an update on the new installation afterwards with:

Code: Select all

csf -uf
