Backup and restore

It is recommended that you create a backup after each installation and patch installation.

Backup and restore of the configurations and the order data

  • The databases and configuration files will be backed up and restored in their entirety.

  • The backup files contain computer dependant settings. You can only restore a backup file when:

    • The computer name is the same.

    • The installation paths are the same.

    • The application version is the same as the application version that created the backup file.

  • You can use the export file on any computer.

  • After each restore, all services will be restarted and the PRISMAdirect website will be restarted. Therefore, users will have to login again.

Export and import of the settings

You can import and export the configuration of PRISMAdirect. Then, you can use the exported settings to configure another installation of PRISMAdirect. You can use the export file on any computer.

When you export the settings, all settings will be exported. When you import the settings, you can select all settings or a subset of the exported settings.
