6. Backup your node​

  • In order to export the current identity of your node to a file called your-node-name.identity, run the following command
sonaric identity-export -o your-node-name.identity

You can specify a different file name by changing your-node-name.identity to the desired file name. The name is arbitrary and can be anything you like.

Transfer and save the file in your local PC. You can use Mobaxterm or Termius to directly access to your directories

It is normal to see different file contents each time you export the identity. The file is encrypted using a method that randomizes the output.

6.2 Backup your node​

  • You can back-up your node in GUI dashboard too
