Restoring GitCentric

This section describes the background information and procedure you use to restore GitCentric.

Caution: Restore Overwrites Existing GitCentric Installations

The full_restore.sh command completely overwrites an existing GitCentric installation. If you are restoring to an existing GitCentric installation, make sure there is no data under the GitCentric home directory that needs to be saved.

Prerequisites

In order to successfully run the full_restore.sh command:

You must have an existing GitCentric installation to use as the target for the restore operation. This GitCentric installation can be empty.
<ac_home>/jre/bin must be in your system’s search path (set using the $PATH environment variable)
<ac_home>/postgresql/bin must be in your system’s search path (set using the $PATH environment variable)

What Gets Restored?

The full_restore.sh command restores all the files and databases in the kando_backup_site_etc_<yyyymmdd>.tar created by the full_backup.sh command. See What Gets Backed Up? for more information.
