Re: Backup/restore ADAM instance

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

OK, step by step what I am doing

1. Install a unique instance Backend, the instance is running under
the Network Service account.
2. Stop "Backend" service.
3. Launch the ntbackup tool.
4. Try to backup the instance. Select "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Adam
\Backend" directory.
5. Start backup. It seems to finish without errors. The following
report was generated

Backup Status
Operation: Backup
Active backup destination: File
Media name: "Backup.bkf created 8/5/2008 at 11:52 AM"

----------------------

The following files are in the backup: edb.chk, res1.log, res2.log

6. Start the "Backend" service.
7. Create Test container on this server.
8. Stop the "Backend" service.
9. Restore the data from the backup. (Select C: node in the tree;
Restore files to "Original location"). The following report was
generated:

Restore Status
Operation: Restore

Backup of "C:", Restored to"C: "

10. Start the "Backend" service.
11. The Test container in the directory, so the data was not restored.

Did I miss something?
