11. Click OK. The IzoT CT drawing, IzoT network database, and the NodeBuilder project are copied
to the target computer. The NodeBuilder project is associated with the IzoT CT network.
12. A message appears informing you that the network restore operation has been completed, and
prompting you to select whether to open the IzoT CT network in order to recommission devices
that have changed since the network was backed up.
• Click Yes if you made any changes to the network since it was backed up. This prevents the
network from behaving unpredictably if the IzoT CT network design is not in sync with the
physical devices. Proceed to recommission and resynchronize the network.
• Click No only if changes have not been made to the configuration of the existing physical
devices on the network since it was backed up. This happens if the IzoT Commissioning Tool
was OffNet the entire time, or if you added new devices and functional blocks but did not
modify any existing devices or functional blocks. The IzoT CT drawing will not be opened.

Manually Copying NodeBuilder Project Files
You can manually the entire NodeBuilder project. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the source and target computers have the same versions of the IzoT NodeBuilder tool
and the IzoT Commissioning Tool.
2. On the source computer, copy the entire NodeBuilder Project folder to a USB drive, another
removable media, or a shared network drive with read/write permissions. By default, the
NodeBuilder Project folder is stored in the C:\Users\Public\Documents\LonWorks\OpenLnsCt
\Source directory and has the same name as the NodeBuilder project. The NodeBuilder Project
folder contains subdirectories for each device template in the NodeBuilder project.
3. On the source computer, copy any user-defined hardware templates and custom libraries to the
USB drive, another removable media, or a shared network drive with read/write permissions. By
default, user-defined hardware templates are stored in the C:\Program Files
(x86)\LonWorks\NodeBuilder\Templates\Hardware\User directory.
4. Copy the NodeBuilder Project backup to the
C:\Users\Public\Documents\LonWorks\OpenLnsCt \Source directory on the target computer.
