Restoring the System

If you have created a system backup using the Task Scheduler, you can use the Task Scheduler to restore the information to Avalanche.

You cannot restore a system backup from a previous version of Avalanche. The backup version must match the Avalanche version. If you attempt to restore a system backup from a previous version of Avalanche, the restoration will fail.

Note: If you are attempting to restore the system on a Linux operating system, Wavelink recommends you perform the restoration manually.

To restore the system:

Click Tools > Task Schedule.

The Task Schedule dialog box appears.

Click Add.

The Scheduled Task Wizard appears.

Select Restore System from the Task Type drop-down list and click Next.

The Restore A System Backup screen appears.

Select the system backup you wish to restore and click Next.

•

Select Restore the most recent system backup to restore Avalanche to the latest backup file.

•

Select Restore by path to specify the file name and path of the desired system backup.

•

Select Restore selected to choose the desired system backup from the list according to the tag name.

The Review Your Task screen appears.

Review your task to ensure that it is correct and click Next.

The Task Scheduled screen appears.

Click Next to schedule a new event, or click Finish.

The task is added to the Scheduled and Recurring Tasks list.

Restart the enterprise server, statistics server, and Tomcat service after the files are restored. If Avalanche is installed on a Windows OS, this is done from the Windows Services list. For the specific names of the services, see Avalanche Services.
