Client Text Backup - Restoring from a Client Text Back-up

If you need to build a new database by copying some of the Companies and data from an existing database, you will have used the 'Company Text Backup' function to export information separately from each of the relevant Companies, and possibly the 'Client Text Backup' function to export information from Company 0. This is information that is stored at the database level and includes the Configuration setting, Mailboxes and Conferences (and their contents), Global Users and record links.

Follow these steps:

  1. Ensure there is no Hansa.HDB file in the folder containing the Standard ERP application and start the application.

  2. When the 'Welcome to Standard ERP' window appears, use the [Local Company] button to create the first Company and user.

  3. After logging in, use the 'Automatic' or 'Manual file search' Import functions in the System module to import the Client text back-up (i.e. the backup containing information from Company 0).

  4. When the import finishes, the application will close and restart. Log in again. The Company register will now contain the Companies that were in the old database. It is important to retain the previous Company structure if any of the Company text back-ups contain record links that you will need to be able to use in the new database.

  5. Use the 'Automatic' or 'Manual file search' Import functions to import the relevant Company text back-up file for the Company that you are in. Again, when the import finishes, the application will close and restart. Log in to each Company in turn and import the relevant Company text back-up file.

  6. If you have left any of the Companies empty because you will not use them in the new database, you can mark them as Inactive or Deleted to prevent logging in. Please refer to the Closing Companies page for details.
