Recovering documents

To restore a specific document into Kronodoc 5.0, it is necessary to identify the document records from the database backup. After that, the backup information is used to recreate the document manually in Kronodoc 5.0, in the same way as a new document is created.

Note: Do not restore individual database records manually. This may corrupt the Kronodoc database beyond repair.

To find the correct records in the backup, you must have some information on the document to be restored, such as the document number, document title, author, or description. The internal database storage id can be used to identify the correct document immediately.

Note that if you need to start the recovery process by looking for the files attached to a deleted document first, you can use the internal document record id to find the correct document quickly.

The common search keys for locating documents in the backup are summarized in Table 1. The keys are columns in the DOCUMENTS table. Use standard tools to locate the correct document records.
