sysconf config restore
Restore configuration of the selected services from a backup file. This command automatically creates a backup file of the current configurations before restoring a previous configuration. You can restore the previous configurations from this backup if the new settings are not acceptable.
NOTE If the configuration content is less than 64 KB, a single file is generated with a name that includes the creation date and time.
If the lunash:> sysconf config backup command detects that your configuration is more than 64 KB, then it breaks the config content into chunks, each of less than 64 KB. The backup chunk files get the same name, except that each has a sequential number appended. An additional generated file contains a hash of all the chunk files, and is used to reassemble the large backup when you later restore with lunash:> sysconf config restore (using Luna Appliance Software 7.8.5 or newer).
If you store your appliance configuration on an HSM (using sysconf config export) you must first use the command sysconf config import to import the configuration file from the HSM to the appliance file system before using this restore command.
The service(s) must be stopped before restoring their configuration.
You must reboot the appliance for the changes to take effect. Please check the new configurations before rebooting or restarting the services.
Certificates, if any, are added to the backup archive, and are restored to the strust store upon config restore.
NOTE This command does not restore the HSM (crypto module) and Partition configurations (see hsm restore and partition restore for more information).

NOTE Noticeable changes using Luna Appliance Software 7.8.5 or newer:
>backups would have either "all" or a single service in the filename
>backups could be larger than 64 KB and therefore be spread across multiple files (that must all be stored, handled, used together).
