'''Problem: I need to backup my Toolpack configuration.'''  
+
Problem: '''How do I&nbsp;make sure I keep my system configuration?'''<br>  
−
 
+
−
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>  
+
  
 +
All the configuration are stored in a MySQL database. To perform a backup, refer to the following links:
 +
*[[Toolpack:Database_Backup_C|Backup procedure for v2.8 or 2.9]]
 +
*[[Toolpack:Database_Backup_B|Backup procedure for v2.7]]
 +
*[[Toolpack:Database_Backup_A|Backup procedure for v2.5 or v2.6]] <br>

For releases before 2.4 or older or if you do not have access to the web portal, see [[Manual Database Backup]].<br>
