Exporting Connection Credentials

When you create a website backup in the Backup Manager, NetObjects Fusion automatically creates a recovery file containing the credentials needed to restore a backup (.nfc file). To restore or rollback a website project from your SiteSafe Backup Repository, open the .nfc file with NetObjects Fusion to automatically connect to the Backup Manager and restore your website. The .nfc file also contains the website's publish profile settings so that a complete recovery from a catastrophic hard drive failure is easily accomplished.

  1. To export your SiteSafe Recovery Credentials the .nfc file, choose Backup Manager from the File menu.
