Database Backup Restore

NSIA stores it's entire state in the database. Therefore, backing up the database will backup all of the NSIA (except the application itself).

Creating Backups (Internal Database Only)

Backups of the database can be created within the application by selecting "Create Backup" (http://127.0.0.1:8080/System/Backup) within the interface. This causes the application to create a zip archive containing a snapshot of the database in <install_directory>/var/backups.

Restoring from a Backup (Internal Database Only)

A backup of the database can be restored by extracting a backup into <install_directory>/var/database after shutting down NSIA. Restart NSIA after restoring the database will cause NSIA to mount the restored database.
