Database Backup

Your nmConnect database holds sensitive information that may be difficult to get by without. As such it is highly recommended that you back it up and keep an offline copy.

nmConnect makes is easy to create an encrypted backup file that can easily be restored at a later date should it be required.

To create a backup run:

ct -backupdb

You'll be asked for a password to encrypt the backup with and a timestamped backup file will be created in the current directory. To restore from a backup (be careful, the current database will be erased before restore!) run the following:

ct -restoredb

You'll be asked for a password to decrypt the backup as well as the database file to restore from.

Easy as that!
