This section assumes you backed your installation up manually. This section will assume that your backup is in /opt/fog_backup. Also, you may need to be root for some of these actions.<br /> <br /> First, go to your backup directory:<br /> # cd /opt/fog_backup<br /> # ls<br /> fogopt fog.sql web<br /> As you can see, I have named my /opt/fog into fogopt, and my /var/www/fog into web. I chose not to backup my /images directory due to some issues copying such large files.<br /> <br /> === Web Directory ===<br /> <br /> Restoring your web directory will take two steps. First, remove the current one, if it exists, then copy the backup over to the appropriate location.<br /> # rm -rf /var/www/fog<br /> # cp -a /opt/fog_backup/web /var/www/fog<br /> <br /> === OPT Directory ===<br /> <br /> Restoring the /opt directory is just about the same as the web directory above.<br /> # rm -rf /opt/fog<br /> # cp -a /opt/fog_backup/fogopt /opt/fog<br /> <br /> === MySQL Databse ===<br /> <br /> In order to restore the database, you should first drop the current one (if it exists), then create a blank fog database, then import your backup.<br /> # mysql -u root -p<br /> Enter password: <br /> mysql&gt; DROP DATABASE fog;<br /> mysql&gt; CREATE DATABASE fog;<br /> mysql&gt; exit<br /> # mysql -D fog -u root -p &lt; fog.sql<br /> <br /> That should do it!</div>
