2. Select the PROFILES tab (your current profile is highlighted).
3. Click the [Add to List] button.
4. Enter a useful name, like MyProfileBackup.

Restore Procedure:

1. Issue the OPTIONS command.
2. Select the PROFILES tab.
3. Select the backup profile in the list.
4. Click the [Set Current] button.
5. Select the old (corrupt) profile.
6. Click [Delete] and confirm to remove it.
7. Select the backup profile in the list again.
8. Click the [Add to List] button.
9. Enter the original profile (recently deleted) name.
10. Select the original profile in the list.
11. Click the [Set Current] button.
