Reasons why you should buy SiteVault

Restoring Sites

To restore a site from a Backup: go to the main menu select "Restore" and select the Site you wish to backup. If some sites are disabled they do not have any Backups. Select a Backup from the list that appears.

Another way to start the Restore task is to right click on a Backup object (from the TreeView or the ListView) and select Restore from the menu that appears (like shown in the image).

After that a confirmation window will appear. Please do not rush to confirm. If some text appears in read it means the Backup is incomplete (user Aborted) or it has errors. If this is the case please read the logs it will be very helpful as it tells you what files/tables have not been downloaded successfully.

You can restore a damaged Backup with low risks because the files/tables that exist in the backup are intact. This means that SiteVault will only keep successfully and completely downloaded items.

The Restore task will also attempt to set the FTP permission as they were at Backup.

Note: To prevent data corruption only one of these tasks, Backup/Restore or Cleanup, is allowed per site at a time.

The interface is similar to a Backup dialog.
