Backing Up and Restoring Global Projects

Backing up projects is good practice in any environment: make sure that all files at all locations are backed up regularly.

To restore a Global project, extra attention must be given to any restoring process that is carried out.

• By using the Recover option it is possible to restore project databases, which may minimise work loss.

• Use the backups for a location only for that location, if possible. In some cases your only option may be to use backups from other locations. If so, be aware of the implications it could have on the amount of work lost.

• Re-create the transaction databases at locations, using the RENEW command. For information about this command and others, refer to Command Reference. (If the transaction database file has been deleted, it will be re-created automatically when the daemon is started.)

  Remember the Global database at the Hub is the master Global database. Back this up before carrying out any major Global administration work.
