Restoring the Console Database

Restoring the Console application and MySQL database.

Important: If you run the following restore commands while the console process is still running, the restoration will not complete. Before running the following store commands, stop console with the command:

# asctl console:stop

Restoring the MySQL Database ONLY

If you backed up the Console database with the asctl command, you can restore it with the following command:

$ asctl -v console:restore_database dir

(where dir is the date-stamped directory containing the desired backup file)

For example:

$ asctl -v console:restore_database /opt/aspera/console/backup/2013-1-16_164305

Restoring the Entire Console Application

If you backed up the Console database with the GUI, you can restore it with the following command:

$ asctl -v console:restore dir

(where dir is the date-stamped directory containing the desired backup files)

For example:

$ asctl -v console:restore /tmp/console_full_backup_2013-1-16_00.57.28_UTC
