Only via external commands (like LCedit+ does it).

We are investigating on how to create layer backups, and how we can 
conserve macros when layers are made again.

We do have a perl utility LcFlashDump which creates an image firmware 
file of a total running system. This means that uploading this file 
restores a LanBox completely as it was, including layers etc.

LcFlashDump is made to run on OSX machines only, but if you know how 
to do things in Perl, it should be possible to use this on other 
platforms as well.

LcFlashDump can be downloaded from
