You can backup your configuration files to recover from a system failure, or to have the ability to move a client and all its network configuration to a new computer.

  1. On Windows, select System > Preferences. On a Mac, select LogMeIn > Preferences.
  2. Select Service configuration in the Disk Locations section.
  3. Select Open.
  4. Copy all files to a safe location.

How to restore configuration files

Do not go Online when you install LogMeIn Hamachi on the new or reformatted computer.

  1. Open the service configuration directory. See How to backup configuration files.
  2. On Windows, go to the Start menu and type run in the Search field to open the Run window.
  3. In the Run window, type services.msc.
  4. Right-click on Hamachi Tunneling Engine and select Stop.
  5. Go back to the service configuration directory and copy the backed up files to the service configuration directory.
  6. In the Services window, right-click on Hamachi Tunneling Engine and select Start.
  7. When the client goes online, it will retain its original identity.

On Linux

  1. Open the terminal.
  2. Stop the LogMeIn Hamachi service with the following command:
    /etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi stop
