Restore a Backed Up Database

Before you purge an individual database, we recommend that you back up the entire content database. This section describes how to restore the backup.

To restore a database backup

In a browser, type this command to restore the entire content database:

http://<IDOL_server>:<index_port>/DREINITIAL?<backup_folder>

Where:

<IDOL_server>: Identifies the server hosting your IDOL content database.
<index_port>: Specifies the index port for the content database. The default port number is 9001.
<backup_folder>: Specifies the path to the folder containing the database backup.

Example

Run this command on the content database host server to restore the content database that you previously backed up:

http://localhost:9001/DREINITIAL?C:\MyBackup
