Copying NodeBuilder Projects
You can copy a NodeBuilder project to another computer using the LonMaker tool (recommended), or
by manually copying the NodeBuilder project files. After you copy a NodeBuilder project, you must
also copy any user-defined resource files used by the device template in the project from the source
computer to the target computer, and then install and register your user-defined resource files on the
target computer. See Copying User-Defined Resource Files for more information on how to do this.
Using the LonMaker Tool to Backup and Restore a NodeBuilder
Project
You can copy a NodeBuilder project to another computer by backing up the project files on the source

the LonMaker tool.
2. On the source computer, start the LonMaker tool. To do this, click Start on the taskbar, point to
Programs, point to Echelon LonMaker, and then select LonMaker. The LonMaker Design
Manager opens.
3. In the Database Name property under Existing Network, select the LonMaker network design
associated with the NodeBuilder project to be copied and then click Backup.
