Restoring a Forest

You can restore a forest from a backup.

To restore a forest from a backup, follow these steps:

Warning

Before following this procedure on the Windows platform, ensure that users do not have forests, directories, or any subdirectories open.

  1. Click the Forests icon on the left tree menu.

  2. Decide which forest to restore.

  3. Click the icon for this forest name.

  4. Click the Backup/Restore tab on the top right.

  5. Enter the name of the directory that contains the backup copy of the forest.

  6. Select Restore.

  7. Click OK.

    A confirmation message appears.

  8. Confirm that you want to restore data from this backup directory and click OK.

Restoring data from your backup is a “hot” admin task; the changes take effect immediately.
