Restore

To restore, follow the steps below:

• Stop the servers.
• Copy your backup file to the directory /opt/bitnami/apps/youtrack/youtrack_home.

• Rename the current database folder and create a new one with the commands below:

  $ sudo mv /opt/bitnami/apps/youtrack/youtrack_home/teamsysdata /opt/bitnami/apps/youtrack/youtrack_home/teamsysdata.back
  $ sudo mkdir /opt/bitnami/apps/youtrack/youtrack_home/teamsysdata
  

• Restore your backup file, replacing FILENAME with the backup file name:

  $ sudo tar -pxzvf /opt/bitnami/apps/youtrack/youtrack_home/FILENAME -C /opt/bitnami/apps/youtrack/youtrack_home/teamsysdata
  

• Start the servers again.
