Export & Import BF Bot Manager Strategies (XML)
Hours spent tuning After Bet Rules, staking, and Auto Load should not live on one hard drive. BF Bot Manager lets you export strategies to XML and re-import after a reinstall, VPS migration, or version upgrade.
Quick answer: Bots/Strategies → select strategy → Export → save XML locally. To restore: Import, re-check staking and Safety Rules, run Simulation. Build strategies in BFBM free trial.
Export Workflow
- Finalise strategy in Simulation.
- Bots/Strategies → select strategy → Export.
- Save with a clear name:
LTD-v3-2026-06.xml. - Store off-machine (cloud backup).
Import Workflow

- Run Simulation on upcoming events before Real mode.

What XML Export Contains
An exported BFBM strategy XML includes market filters, selection conditions, price settings, staking plan, After Bet Rules, and Safety Rule links. It does not include your Betfair login, bankroll, or loaded markets — reconfigure Auto Load after import on a new machine.
Version and Migration Tips
- Export before every BFBM software update.
- After import, open each rule tab — deprecated conditions sometimes need manual review on major version jumps.
- VPS migration: export on old server, import on new, re-enter Futodds token if used (Futodds guide).
Security Checklist for Third-Party XML
| Check | Why |
| Staking plan | Recovery or % bank could be aggressive |
| Max liability per bet | Ensure within your bankroll |
| Real vs Simulation flag | Never go live untested |
