You can restore the Commit system using the partial-backup files (database only) or the full-backup files.
To restore the full system using full-backup files:
To restore from a full backup (i.e. a backup file which includes the Commit folder and all sub-folders), please follow these instructions. This includes restoring the files and installing any services if they were used.
Commit will now be ready for use at the exact point when the backup was done.
To restore the full system using a partial-backup (database-only) files:
| 1. | Download and install a fresh trial version of Commit. Make sure to use the exact same version as you have been using until now, otherwise there will be version mismatch when restoring the database. |
| 2. | Install it to the original path where Commit was installed on your server originally. |
| 3. | Run the Commit application once (use any user as this is a fresh setup) |
| 4. | Close the CommitCRM session. |
| 5. | Rename the <server>\Commit\Db folder to <server>\Commit\Db-Not-In-Use. |
| 6. | Rename the <server>\Commit\DbSys folder to <server>\Commit\DbSys-Not-In-Use. |
| 7. | From the backup, copy the \Commit\Db and \Commit\DbSys folders to <server>\Commit\Db and <server>\Commit\DbSys. |
Commit will now be ready for use at the exact point when the backup was done.
To restore from a backup only in order to revert changes in the database:
Should you need to restore a backup to revert changes, your current Commit installation can still be used. You just need to replace the database files.
To restore a partial backup:
1. Rename the <server>\Commit\Db folder to Db-Not-In-Use.
2. Rename the <server>\Commit\DbSys folder to DbSys-Not-In-Use.
3. From the backup-file, copy the Db and DbSys folders to <server>\Commit\Db and <server>\Commit\DbSys.
Commit will now be ready for use at the exact point when the backup was done.
