You can restore the Complete Time Tracking database from a previous backup in a data recovery situation or after server maintenance. Previous backup files are typically created with a .RBK filename extension.
Warning: Database user roles are stored within the database, therefore if you restore a database from a backup the roles for the users will be restored and set to those current at the time of the backup. After a restore you should review the roles in the database assigned to each database user to ensure that they are still appropriate.
Restore can be performed in several ways:
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 Professional 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 Professional. 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.
HOW-TO Restore a Previous Backup Using the Server Manager Program
HOW-TO Restore a Database Manually You can restore a database manually using file copy from Windows Explorer.
Important: As stated previously the Complete Time Tracking Professional database server program must be stopped to back up the database. You must restore the folder(s) and their contents.
HOW-TO Restore a Database Using Third Party Backup Software A third party backup product may be used to restore a database from a previous backup that it made. The important point is that the Complete Time Tracking Professional database server program must be stopped to restore the database. It is best to stop and start the database server program manually using the Server Manager before and after using the backup software to restore the database.
Note: You must restore the database folder and its contents.
