Export and import your data

Whether you're backing up your records or moving contacts and certificates into InfraNest, this article walks you through exporting and importing your data. It's for any user who wants a copy of their InfraNest data or needs to bring in existing contacts and certificates.

Overview

• Export almost any resource — domains, contacts, DNS zones and records, servers, firewalls, monitors, incidents, status pages and more.
• Download everything at once as a single bundle, or export one resource at a time.
• Import contacts and SSL certificates from a spreadsheet file.
• Domains and servers can't be imported this way — they connect through a linked provider instead.

Export your data

1. Go to Settings, then open the data section.
2. Find the resource you want to export (domains, contacts, DNS zones and records, servers, firewalls, monitors, incidents, status pages, and more).
3. For each one, choose your preferred format — CSV works everywhere, while JSON gives you more detail.
4. To get everything in one go instead, select Export all my data to download a single ZIP file with all your data.

Import contacts or certificates

1. Go to Settings, then open the data section.
2. Select Import CSV.
3. Upload your CSV file.
4. InfraNest checks your file and shows a validated preview with a status for each row.

5. Review the preview, then select Import {n} rows to confirm.

NoteOnly contacts and certificates can be imported this way. Domains and servers always come in through a connected provider instead. Importing never erases columns you didn't include in your file.
