Restoring

You can restore archived projects which are soft-deleted (Database cleanup has not been run after the archiving operation), or hard-deleted (Database cleanup has been run after the archiving operation).

Note: The Restore functionality must be configured on the server before it will be available for use.

The procedure is the same for both operations:

1. Go to the Home > Archive menu item.
2. Set Archived = "Yes" and click Search.
3. Click the Restore link by the project.

The Restore archived project confirmation dialog appears.

4. Click OK.

When a project has been restored, the "Owner" of the project will be set to the original owner if that user still exists, or the restoring user in the event the original owner is no longer registered in the company. A restored project will belong to the Original company.

In the event of an error occurring during a restore task, the task will roll-back. The roll-back will delete the restored survey and clear disk space of any temporary files which were created during the restore operation.

Note: Due to the practical challenges involved with testing new versions of Forsta Plus against innumerable old surveys, the Project Restore functionality is only supported for projects that have been launched in one of the latest three versions of Forsta Plus. It will normally be possible to restore older projects, but Forstacannot guarantee this.
