Restoring a Backup

You can use the included restore.ps1 script in your srm-docker/scripts folder to restore a backup created by backup.ps1. This will restore Software Risk Manager data from a provided backup name that was either specified or generated when creating the backup.

To restore a backup:
  1. Stop your containers using the Docker Compose down command for your deployment to avoid unexpected restore behavior.
  2. Run the following command to restore a backup by entering its name from the list of backups: 
    pwsh ./scripts/restore.ps1
    Note: You can use the -BackupName parameter to skip the backup list by specifying a specific backup.
  3. Verify that you see the following message indicating a successful restore: 
    Successfully restored backup <backup-name>
  4. If you are using an external database, restore the related database backup now.

The restore command assumes no defaults have been changed about the Software Risk Manager Docker Compose environment. If defaults were modified or for more advanced usages of the restore script, see the help information provided by running the following command from the srm-docker directory:

pwsh -Command get-help .\scripts\restore.ps1 -full
