Using Console / Backing Up Console Database

Restoring the Console Database

You can restore any back up of a Console database as long as you have access to the backup file.

Stop Console.
```
$ asctl console:stop
```
Restore the Console database.
- If you made a back up of 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
```
- If you made a back up of the Console database with the web UI, you can restore it with the following command:
```
$ asctl -v console:restore dir
(where dir is the date-stamped directory containing the desired backup file). 
```
  For example:
```
$ asctl -v console:restore /tmp/console_full_backup_2013-1-16_00.57.28_UTC
```
Start Console.
```
$ asctl console:start
```
