Follow these 10 steps to backup and restore the database in ADAudit Plus.
On executing BackupDB.bat, the back up file will be saved at the default location (<Installation-directory>\ManageEngine\ADAudit Plus\backup), under the default name (OfflineBackup_<timestamp>.ezip), with the default password (Backup@123$).
Note 1: On executing BackupDB.bat, in addition to a timestamped .ezip file titled 'OfflineBackup_<timestamp>.ezip' getting created under <Installation-directory>\ManageEngine\ADAudit Plus\backup, a timestamped folder will also get created under <Installation-directory>\ManageEngine\ADAudit Plus\backup\EventData.
Alternately, if you want to specify a location, name, and password for the back up file, execute BackupDB.bat BackupDirectory BackupFileName -p <password>.
Here, BackupDirectory is the location where you want to save the back up file.
BackupFileName is the name you want to provide for the back up file.
-p <password> is the password you want to configure for the back up file.
For example, if you want to save the back up file at E:\smith\backup, name the file as ADAPBackup, and configure the password as Pass@123$, execute BackupDB.bat E:\smith\backup ADAPBackup -p Pass@123$.
Note 2: Ensure that you remember the configured password, without which the back up file cannot be recovered.
Here, ZipFileLocation is the location of the back up file.
-p password is the password of the back up file.
For example, in step 3, if you have saved the back up file at E:\smith\backup, named the file as ADAPBackup, and configured the password as Pass@123$, execute RestoreDB.bat E:\smith\backup\ADAPBackup -p Pass@123$.
In step 3, if you did not specify a location, name, and password for the back up file and simply executed BackupDB.bat, execute RestoreDB.bat <Installation-directory>\ManageEngine\ADAudit Plus\backup\OfflineBackup_<timestamp>.ezip -p Backup@123$.
Here FolderLocation is the location of the folder mentioned in Note 1 under step 3.
For example, in step 3, if you have saved the back up file at E:\smith\backup, execute RestoreEventTables.bat E:\smith\backup\EventData.
In step 3, if you did not specify a location, name, and password for the back up file and simply executed BackupDB.bat, execute RestoreEventTables.bat <Installation-directory>\ManageEngine\ADAudit Plus\backup\EventData.
