Recommendation
It is strongly recommended to regularly back up your profile files.

Automatic backups
NETworkManager automatically creates a backup of the profile file before applying any changes. See Create daily backup and Maximum number of backups for configuration options.

  • Location: Profiles\Backups subfolder (relative to the main configuration directory)
  • Naming: timestamped (e.g. yyyyMMddHHmmss_<profile>.json)
  • Frequency: once per day at most (even if multiple changes occur)
  • Retention: keeps the 10 most recent backups (default)

Restoring profiles

  1. Completely close NETworkManager
  2. Locate the desired backup in Profiles\Backups
  3. Copy the file(s) back to the original folder (overwrite existing files or copy them under a different name)
  4. Restart the application
