Restoring a Forest
You can restore a forest from a backup made earlier either using the Admin Interface. Backups are restored at the forest granularity only.
To restore a forest from a backup made previously, follow these steps:
Click the Forests icon on the left tree menu.
Decide which forest to restore.
Click the icon for this forest name.
Click the Backup/Restore tab on the top right.
Enter the name of the directory that contains the backup copy of the forest.
Select Restore.
Click OK.
A confirmation message displays.
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.
Warning
When performing restores on the Windows platform, ensure that no users have the Forests or Data directories (or any subdirectories within them) open while the restore process is executing.
