Resolution
The IM profiles are saved on the local hub machine that is on each hub.
For example when user changes a setting/presses Ctrl-P to save the IM profile using "Save As" - the resultant file is saved on the hub machine in:
...\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\hub\profiles
Note that the .pcf file is not manually editable (it's a binary file)
For backup/restore, the .pcf profile file should be copied from/to \hub\profiles folder.
If there is more than one hub, then profile(s) get replicated to other hubs as well.
This could be caused by corruption of the IM profile
Workaround is to delete /recreate the related user profile from IM ->View ->Manage Profiles if backup is not available
