Version Control and Restoring Files

Every time you delete or change a configuration, rule set or data file, the console automatically creates an internal backup so that it can be retrieved later.

To restore a file, select the type of file to restore by clicking its type (configuration, rule sets, test data or data files) in the administration tree.

New Rule Set

Select the appropriate repository to restore to and click on Restore. The restore options panel appears as shown:

Restore Rule Sets

To restore a file, select the timestamp that is closest to the time you wish to restore to, and a list of available files for that timestamp will be shown. Select all of the files you wish to restore (hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple files) and click on Restore. The system will automatically backup any files you may be overwriting and will restore the older version.

If you wish, you can clear the repository prior to performing the restore.
