Utilities

Note: 

 If you're restoring from floppy disks, insert the first disk of the backup set,

and then click Browse and select your floppy drive. You'll be prompted to

insert each disk in the set as it's needed.

The application also alerts you if you select a backup file with a site name that is

different than the site you're restoring. Click Yes only if you're certain that you

want to use the file.
When you click Restore, the application first verifies that the backup file is

complete. If you've backed up your database to floppy disks, the application

requests each disk in the backup set for verification.

Note: 

 If the backup file is incomplete or otherwise corrupt, a message appears

instructing you to use a different backup file.

If verification is successful, you can choose to restore your database or cancel the

process. To continue with the restore process, click Yes. If you're restoring from

floppy disks, the application prompts you to reinsert the first disk in the backup

set. The application displays a progress dialog as it replaces the contents of your

database with the information in the backup file.
When the restore is complete, a message appears outlining the tasks you should

perform. As a standard measure, we recommend that you run the Check

Database Integrity utility (see page 594). These tasks are also listed on the

exception report that documents the restore's progress and records any problems

it encounters.

Note: 

 If your backup file did not include keywords, you'll have to rebuild them

with the Rebuild Keywords utility before you can conduct keyword

searches. For more information, see Rebuild Keywords" on page 595.

Review the exception report carefully. If you notice numerous warnings of

corrupted records, you may need to restore from a different backup file. Contact

Follett Software's Technical Support department for assistance.

Using another vendor's backup software

If you decide to use backup software from a thirdparty vendor, Follett

recommends backing up the application data in the DATA directory on a daily

basis. This ensures that all daily transactions, configuration, and setup for the

Follett applications are preserved should you need to restore.
The location of the DATA directory depends on whether your site is a singleuser

or multiuser environment. When you install the FairCom database server and/or

Follett applications, make note of the directory structure so that you will be able

to locate the DATA directory. Please keep this information on hand in case you

need to contact Follett Technical Support.

Singleuser sites

If you are running Follett's singleuser applications, back up the DATA and

TEMP directories, as well as their subdirectories. These directories are located

under CC40.

Important: 

 To back up these directories successfully, you must first make certain

that none of the Follett applications are running.
