Restore Data From Backup

Frederic Bergeron edited this page Sep 23, 2015 · 2 revisions

In order to restore the data of the system, the administrator needs to have priorly performed backups. Backups should be run regularly to prevent data loss in case of emergency. This can be done via the Maintenance Administration page.

Here is the procedure to follow to restore the data:

  1. Shutdown Tomcat.
  2. Delete all the content of the folder specified by the ${comete.home} property of the main config file.
  3. Copy the desired backup file from the ${comete.backup.home} folder into the ${comete.home} folder.
  4. Restart Tomcat.

The process of restoring the data will take several minutes depending on the amount of data to restore. During this time, the system will not be usable by the users. If they try to access the system, they will be shown an information page indicating that the system is temporarily out of service for maintenance reasons.
