restore

 

This tab allows you to restore a Jim2 database from a backup.

 

When you have configured Jes to perform daily backups with hourly logs, you may need to restore the appropriate full backup, followed by the hourly log backups.

 

The steps to do this are as follows:

Restore the full backup, and ensure Log Restore To Follow is ticked.

Tick Restore over existing database if you are restoring over an existing database. Take care with this option.

For each of the log file backups except the last one, restore the log file backup, ensuring that Log Restore To Follow is ticked and Restore over existing database is ticked.

When you restore the last log file backup, make sure that Log Restore To Follow is unticked and Restore over existing database is ticked.

 

warning1

When you restore a database, incoming and outgoing email will be automatically disabled. To re-enable outgoing and incoming email, refer to Options in the Jim2 client. This is to prevent accidental sending of emails from a database restored for test or training purposes.
