Includes all plugin objects, groups, relationships, settings, alert history, private keys, and delivery credentials. NetBox users, permissions, tags, custom-field definitions, and external devices are not included. Existing external objects are matched by name or other portable identity when possible.
Restore on a compatible NetBox running the same plugin version. The destination may use a different plugin encryption key. Maximum file size: 64 MiB (128 MiB expanded).
Merge a Groups, Services, or Inventory export. Objects with matching names are updated. Missing members and external references are skipped with a warning. Certificates and keys are not imported by this operation; import their material first.
Only restore backups from a trusted source. Invalid files or failed validation roll back the entire operation. Missing external references are left blank; records requiring a missing external object are skipped and reported.
