Overview

SHOWRUNNER™ provides backup and restore capabilities.  Backups contain all of the necessary configuration files along with all graphics and extensions associated with the project.  Credentials are stored encrypted and require an encrypted export.  When the backup is exported a user provided secret is required to encrypt the export.  The secret will be needed to import the credentials when restoring the backup.
