Restoring a device with a UCS backup file

You must create a backup UCS file before you can restore it to a device.
You restore a device's UCS configuration to reinstall, or to roll back to a previous version of the device's configuration, without having to recreate it.
  1. At the top of the screen, click
    Devices
    .
  2. On the left, click
    BACKUP & RESTORE
    Backup Files
    .
  3. Select the check box next to the UCS backup file you want to restore.
  4. Click the
    Restore
    button.
The BIG-IQ system restores the saved UCS backup file to the device.
If you restore a BIG-IP device with a backup that is older than its current configuration, any existing backups that are more recent no longer appear in the Backup Files list. Those files, however, are still stored in the
/shared/ucs_backups
directory until you delete them.
