Restore Backup

Restore Backup
 
The Restore window provides you access to the restore functions available in MyCourts.
 
The backup zipped file contains both your application and database files and once you have selected the backup to restore, MyCourts Administrator will copy all the files in the backup to the respective application and database directories that are stored in the computer's registry. Files that are currently located in those directories will be overwritten so even if they are corrupted, you will never be able to recover them. Even if you intend on overwriting those files we recommend that you make a backup of those files 'just in case'.
 
Whilst MyCourts will allow you to backup files from one computer to another, it is not recommended that you do so. Accordingly you should only restore files for the same computer, in the screenshot this would be 'KATOOMBA'.
 
IMPORTANT: MyCourts only creates backups of it's own files. It does not create backups of the 'Server' files if you are running in a networked environment. This means that you must run the backup (and restore) functions on each computer MyCourts is installed on.
 
Restoring from a backup is a simple process. Just select the backup from the list making sure it is for the same computer specified that you are running MyCourts on . Then click the Restore button . After the restore completes, MyCourts Administrator will restart itself using the version that you have just restored.
