Admin Interface for Database Restore

This section describes the Admin Interface used to restore a database.

To access the database restore page, follow these steps:

  1. Log into the Admin Interface as a user with the admin role.

  2. Click the Databases link in the left menu of the Admin Interface.

  3. Click the database name for the database you want to restore, either on the tree menu or on the summary page. This database should have the same configuration settings (index options, fragmentation, range indexes) as the one that was backed up.

  4. Click the Backup/Restore tab. The Backup/Restore screen appears.

The database restore settings are in this table:
