Snapshots

List of database snapshots

The dRofus server takes snapshots of all databases every night. An Organization Administrator can access this list by navigating from the project and selecting the database, then clicking on "Snapshots" within the database detail window:

Here, they can see a list of available snapshots for the selected database. Each snapshot is tagged with the time and date it was taken. Select "Restore" to restore a copy based on the snapshot. The copy will be given the original database name with a date extension appended. The database copy will appear in the project list as an inactive database, so make sure you have selected the "Show inactive projects" option in the projects list.

Note: A list of snapshots is only available for databases with active projects.

Select "Download" to download a copy of the database file locally. This option is used when transferring a database from one dRofus server to another. 

Documents and IFC models are not in the snapshots, and if a snapshot replaces an old database, they would need to be copied.
