If you are using windows managing utility you can open config file from there and just copy the txt.
On linux you can go to the folder where you compiled the softh ether and look for vpn_server.config.

Thanks for response I do use Windows Server Manager, I see when I connect to server in utility it says button "Edit Config" if I click that its a huge text file so your saying if I copy that, thats all I need, is it really that easy?
So lets say I need to uninstall my server and reinstall, I would just reinstall softether and then click edit config and paste the text there and it will all go back to how it was? or do I have to click "important and apply" if so what file type can i import?
Thanks!

When importing, please specify the file which you saved.

Re: best way to backup & restore softether
I can't back up the Softether panel and restore it in another panel, and now I'm in trouble because all my users are on the server and because I want to transfer all my data to another server, I haven't found a definitive way, if anyone can Please let me know, thanks

BACKUP
copy "C:\Program Files\SoftEther VPN Server\vpn_server.config"
RESTORE
net stop SEVPNSERVER
copy vpn_server.config "C:\Program Files\SoftEther VPN Server\vpn_server.config"
net start SEVPNSERVER
On Linux the equivalent of the above.
