restore the database of eSight V2R3C01

Hello friend!

The databases of different eSight editions use different table structures; therefore, the backup database of one edition cannot be used for database recovery of another edition.

Thanks!

The backup database of one edition cannot be used for database recovery of another edition because the databases of different eSight editions use different table structures.

Use the following checklist to prepare for backup:

• Check the location where the backup file will be stored. If you are using a remote location, you must specify it as a UNC folder. Verify that you can access the UNC path.

• Check the permissions on the folder to ensure that the Analysis Services service account has Read/Write permissions on the folder.

• Check for sufficient disk space on the target server.

• Check for existing files of the same name. If a file of the same name already exists, backup will fail unless you specify options to overwrite the file.

During restoration, you have the following options:

• You can restore the database using the original database name, or you can specify a new database name.

• You can overwrite an existing database. If you choose to overwrite the database, you must expressly specify that you want to overwrite the existing database.

• You can choose whether to restore existing security information or skip security membership information.

• You can choose to have the restore command change the restoration folder for each partition being restored.  

Thank you.
