Restoring Aspera Shares from a Backup

Note: To perform a backup see Backing Up Aspera Shares and the Database.

Run the following script as root. The script stops Aspera^® Shares™ services, restores Aspera Shares data, and restarts Aspera Shares. You cannot use this procedure with earlier versions of Aspera Shares.

# /opt/aspera/shares/u/setup/bin/restore /your_backup_dir/backup_id

For example, using the ID of the example directory generated in Backing Up Aspera Shares and the Database:

# /opt/aspera/shares/u/setup/bin/restore /tmp/20130627025459
