Restore

The Administrator can use the "Restore" tab in "Manage Database" to restore the already existing backup of a database. This feature can restore only those backups, which are generated through the Control Panel using the steps mentioned in "Section - Backup".

The restoration process will work for those databases which are directly linked with the Ameyo Server, Ameyo ART, and other components. If you restore the database to its previous state using the backup, then all current changes done after the backup process in the Ameyo and its linked databases will be lost. It may cause a collapse of the existing data from the database, and these data and changes cannot be restored using any method.

After clicking the button the following screen comes up, in which you have to select the database name.
