## /exec/system/util/restore

Restore configuration or full system version from backup.

Use

After using the backup command to create a backup, you can restore from the
backup in one of the following ways:

  * Quick--Restores your current configuration (all files in /home/linerate, except the backups directory). You can use either a quick or full backup to do this type of restore.
  * Full--Restores all files for the current version of F5® LineRate®. You can only use a full backup for this type of restore. Use this type of restore if you find some system files are missing or have become corrupted.

Note: Backups are specific to a version. You cannot use a version 1.5 backup
to do a restore on a version 1.4 system.

To see existing local backups, use either of the following:

  * CLI command--show backup list
  * REST node--/status/system/util/backup/list or /status/system/util/backup/list-detail

Caution: After you do a restore, the system immediately does a reload. The
reload shuts down the system, then restarts it.

If the backup was encrypted, you must decrypt the restore:

  * CLI command--Use the decrypt form of the command and provide the same key as used for the backup.
  * REST node--​Use the same key as used in the backup as described in the Data Key section.
