Not directly from a backup that I’m aware of. You’d have to export objects and import them to only “restore” objects. I’ll be honest, though, it’s been years since I did a backup from within NAV.

Yes, you can try the following:

  1. Open the Import-Objects-Dialog

  2. Select “All Files” in the File Filter

  3. Select your Backup-File - NAV will now import all objects from the backup.

Hi,

To restore object only you need to untick everything in Restore screen (Tools → Restore) except for Application Objects

Now it’s time to restore the data. Go to Tools → Restore again, this time the Application Objects will be automatically disabled, and select the data (company) you want to restore.
