Database Backup and Restore

This manual is in pilot operation.

Regular backups of the database are recommended. It is also advisable to take backups after inputting large amounts of data.

Backup

Follow these steps to backup the database:

  1. Stop the server programs.

  2. Copy all files (*) in the db subfolder within the Database folder to another location for storage (these will serve as your backup files).

  3. Start the server programs.

The index file (fusionplace.index.db) does not need to be backed up.

Restore

Restoring is the process of reverting the database to the state captured in a backup file. Be aware that restoring will replace the current database contents with those from the backup file, causing any pre-restore data to be lost.

  1. Stop the server programs.

  2. Delete all files in the db subfolder within the Database folder.

  3. Copy the backup files to the db subfolder within the Database folder. Do not change the filenames.

  4. Start the server programs.
