Short answer

A Sanplex restore uses both the backup of uploaded files and the corresponding SQL backup from the same backup set. Place the restored upload files in the Sanplex upload directory and import the SQL file into the target database.

Before you restore

Important: Use files from the same backup set. Mixing upload archives and SQL files from different dates can leave document references and database records out of sync.

  • Back up the current environment before any restore.
  • Identify the matching file***.zip and .sql***.zip backups.
  • Prepare an empty target database for the SQL import.

Restore Sanplex

  1. Unzip file***.zip and place its contents in sanplex/www/data/upload/.
  2. Unzip the related .sql***.zip archive to obtain the SQL file.
  3. Import the SQL file into the empty target database.
  4. Verify that Sanplex can connect to the target database and access the restored upload data.
  5. Open representative documents and records to confirm that the restore is complete.
