'''Problem: I need to backup my Toolpack configuration.'''
+
−
 
+
−
To backup the MySQL database, use the following commands:<br>
+
−
<pre>  mysqldump -u tbdb --password=tbdbpw --opt toolpack_0 &gt; toolpack_0_bk.sql
+
−
</pre>
+
−
Then, you need to save the "toolpack_0_bk.sql" file in a safe place.<br>
+
−
 
+
−
You can recover the database this way:<br>
+
−
<pre>mysql -u tbdb--password=tbdbpw toolpack_0 &lt; toolpack_0_bk.sql
+
−
</pre>
+
−
This procedure can also be used to make copies of similar configurations from one Toolpack system to another. The Serial Number of the hardware devices used (Tmedias) must be updated after the new database is in place (Hardware -&gt;&nbsp;Edit -&gt;&nbsp;Serial)<br>
