How to backup/restore CSF Firewall configuration instructions have been added to https://centminmod.com/csf_firewall.html#backuprestore

To backup CSF Firewall's current configuration profile run command where backup-name is name of your back which will have auto appended a date timestamp prefix in front when running csf --profile list command

Code (Text):

csf --profile backup backup-name

To restore original CSF firewall backup profile, run commands to list backup profiles, then restore specific named backup profile, restart CSF Firewall+LFD services, and finally update CSF Firewall

Code (Text):

csf --profile list
csf --profile restore 1547784956_cmm_after_whitelist
csf -ra
csf -u

profile list will list csf profile backups look for listing name containing
cmm_after_whitelist with date timestamp prefix in front i.e. for me date timestamp prefix is 1547784956_cmm_after_whitelist

example csf --profile list output

Code (Text):

csf --profile list
