Understanding level 2 recovery

If level 1 database recovery does not succeed, a system administrator can attempt to recover a Hypertrieve database by restoring a snapshot. In this case, data added after that the last snapshot was taken is lost.

To restore a snapshot manually:

1. Stop and disable the EDM Server service.
2. Open Windows Explorer and browse to the folder of the vault that you want to restore.
3. Move the file <VaultName>.hdb to a safe location.
4. Copy the file <VaultName>.snp to <VaultName>.hdb.
5. Enable and restart the EDM Server service.
