To restore a backup, the saved application data has to be written back into the installation directory, e.g. /opt/otrs. Also the database has to be restored.

A script scripts/restore.pl (see Script 22.4 below), which simplifies the restore process, is shipped with every OTRS installation. It supports MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Script 22.4. Getting help about the restore mechanism.


Data that is stored, for example, in the directory /backup/2010-09-07_14-28/, can be restored with the command specified in Script 22.5, assuming the OTRS installation is at /opt/otrs.

linux:/opt/otrs/scripts# ./restore.pl -b /backup/2010-09-07_14-28 -d /opt/otrs/
Restore /backup/2010-09-07_14-28//Config.tar.gz ...
Restore /backup/2010-09-07_14-28//Application.tar.gz ...
