Backing up and restoring
You can backup and restore your VisualGroups environment with current data. The VisualGroups instance is stored on your SwyxWare database.
How to create a backup of the VisualGroups database
1 Stop the VisualGroups website in the Microsoft IIS-Manager.
2 Create a backup of the VisualGroups database. By default the name of the database is “VisualGroups”.
3 Start the VisualGroups website in the Microsoft IIS-Manager.
The current database of your VisualGroups directory is backed up.
How to restore a VisualGroups environment
1 Stop the VisualGroups website in the Microsoft IIS-Manager.
2 Stop the “SwyxPLUS VisualGroups Reporting and Maintenance“ service in the Windows Task Manager.
3 Restore the VisualGroups database backup you have created before (e.g. using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio).
4 Start the VisualGroups website in the Microsoft IIS-Manager.
5 Start the “SwyxPLUS VisualGroups Reporting and Maintenance“ service in the Windows Task Manager.
Your VisualGroups environment is restored to the creation date of the backup.
