# Backup and Restore of a JUNE5 Project

## Backup

Backups of a JUNE5 project can be created with the JUNE5 Configurator by clicking the "Create Backup" button. It can be decided whether the certificates should be backed up as well or not.

When "Create Backup" is performed, the database, configuration files, and certificate configurations are backed up. The files and folder structures are packed directly from the file system under *"C:\ProgramData\VIDEC\JUNE5\\"* into a ZIP archive.

{% hint style="info" %}

1. To create a backup and restore it, the current Windows user must have administrative rights on the instance of the SQL Server being used.
2. To create a backup, the JUNE5 services are terminated. The server is unavailable during this time.
3. If the corresponding certificates are missing when restoring a backup, this will be notified by a warning message.
   {% endhint %}

## Backup Storage Location

The default backup path is:

*C:\ProgramData\VIDEC\JUNE5\Backups*

The backup file name is updated after each action and has the following format:

*\[Date and Time] – v\[JUNE5 Version] – JUNE5.zip*

#### Example:

*20201003080500-v\_\_3*.*7*\_.0.0-JUNE5.zip (Backup from 10.03.2020 at 8:05 for JUNE5 Version\_ *3*.*7* *SP0).*

## Restore

The restoration of a system is performed via the *"Restore Backup"* button. In the selection dialog, you can select a ZIP archive for restoration.

The ZIP archive must be a valid JUNE5 backup.

{% hint style="info" %}
To restore a backup, the JUNE5 services are terminated. The server is unavailable during this time. A restoration on a different system may result in all certificates of the server system having to be recreated or reselected, as these are system constants.
{% endhint %}

## Automatic Backup

An automatic backup can be created via the Windows Task Scheduler. For this, the *"Videc.June5.June5Configurator.exe"* must be called with the parameter *"-backup"* or *"-backup \[filename]"*.

## General Notes

* Unsaved runtime data will be lost when creating a backup.
* If a transaction is running and a backup is created, it will be aborted and a clean rollback will be performed. Inconsistencies are not to be expected.
