Backup Configuration #153

Closed Scrociato closed 2 years ago

Scrociato commented 2 years ago

Hi GPA, first of all congratulations for the good job with this open source PDC. We are starting to use OpenPDC here in Brazil. There was not great issues with settings until now. But I have one question: Is there a quick way to export/import OpenPDC configuration from one server to another? I could not find it clear in documentation.

Thank you.

Since the configuration is store in a database, this will typically be a back up and restore operation for the particular database you happen to be using.

For example, if you are using SQL Server, here is the instructions:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/backup-restore/quickstart-backup-restore-database?view=sql-server-ver16

Once the database is restored on the other server, you can use the "Configuration Setup Utility" to "connect" the other openPDC to the restored database.

Hope that helps. Also, we recommend you direct general questions to our public forums:

We try to keep the Issues on GitHub for tracking bugs and new feature requests.

Thanks! Ritchie
