Backup
Go into Corbit client -> Overview -> Server configuration -> System backup and click on "Backup now"or setup up an automatic schedule.
The exported database will be saved as ZIP file in the location you've set under:
Corbit client -> Overview -> Server configuration -> Folders-> System Backup
Restore
1. Turn off Corbit server
2. Edit the config-file in Corbit server/config/CorbitServerConfig.prop
3. After the tag 'restorePath' Add full path to the folder where the zip-file is located, example:
restoreBackup=D:\Progam Files/Corbit Server/backup/systemBackup/Corbit backup (complete) (H2) - 2023-10-02 23.12.35
4. Startup Corbit Server
5. Now the backup database will be imported, so startup will take a bit longer. When Corbit is fully running it will remove the path after restoreBackup in the config file.
