Restore

Top Previous Next

You can restore the Complete Time Tracking database from a previous backup in a data recovery situation or after server maintenance.

Restore can be performed in two ways:

1. From within Complete Time Tracking Pro when you are currently logged in. Note: On Windows Vista restore must be performed using the Server Manager program due to the elevated privileges required.

2. Using the Server Manager program if you are not currently logged in to Complete Time Tracking or the server is stopped.

Warning: The server will be briefly stopped to perform the restore. When the server is stopped, current users will experience connection errors when actively using Complete Time Tracking Pro and other users will not be able to log in. The active users will automatically be logged back in when the server is started and they begin to actively use Complete Time Tracking Pro. We therefore highly recommend that all users are logged off before the restore to avoid data loss. You can check the number of connected users from the Server Manager program.
