Restoring data

Prerequisites

  • The server archive data has been backed up.
  • The server system has been set up again after the failure so that the octoplant server can be installed. The existing octoplant system has been uninstalled and is no longer available.
  • User restoring the data backup has administrative rights on the server system.

Process

  1. Restore the backed up data to the vdServerArchive directory. If there is a remote archive, copy it to the vdServerArchive directory of the remote share.
  2. Install the octoplant server applications using the Setup.exe file from the octoplant setup directory. During installation, select the option Server with existing server archive to include the backed up archive.

Warning

We recommend that the installation with existing server archive is carried out with the same octoplant version that was used to create the server archive.
