14.4 Restoring a Snapshot of the Databases

In the Repair tool, you can restore the most recent snapshot of the database. You might want to restore a snapshot of the databases if a report indicates that the current database contains errors. For information about the rights needed to perform this action, see Section 14.1.5, Manually Repairing the Database Files.

  1. Log in to the DynamicFS server as a user with Administrator privileges.

  2. Stop the Service as described in Section 6.4.3, Stopping the Dynamic File Service.

  3. On the server, start the Repair tool by right-clicking the Service Controller icon in the notification area and selecting Repair Tool from the menu.

  4. Select Restore a Snapshot, then click Run.

    A confirmation is printed to the data window. The last known-to-be-valid version of the databases are restored to the Pairs, Policies, and Schedules folders.

  5. When you are done, click Close to close the Repair tool.

    You cannot restart the Service while the Repair tool dialog box is open.

  6. Right-click the Service Controller icon, select Start Service, then click Yes to run Service as Administrator.
