Get a N-able Backup passphrase

When you need to perform any kind of restore, you prompted to enter a passphrase to start the process. This is the link/key to the last known backup so it can continue on as if there was no interruption.

The passphrase, or security code, is a unique key required that the backup software uses to connect with the current backup in the cloud to match with the device.

  1. Click Views > All Devices and click the name of the device.
  2. Click Settings > Backup Management and click Retrieve Passphrase.
  3. Record the passphrase, username and password and click OK.

    4. The phassphrase is valid for 24 hours.

N-able Backup connects with the cloud backup. An initial backup check will take place to ensure any new or updated files are saved to the cloud.
