Restoring a file store

We can restore the files in a file store using the facilities of your operating system, or we can restore the backup copies of your files using a backup tool.

Before starting this task, verify the messaging engine is not running.

If you restore a file store while the messaging engine is still running, data might be corrupted.

When you complete this task, you must treat the log file, the temporary store file, and the permanent store file (which together comprise a file store) as one unit; that is, any operations must be performed on all three files. For more information about these files, see Hints and tips for configuring file store size.

Use the facilities of your operating system, or a backup tool, to restore the backup copy of the log file, the permanent store file, and the temporary store file.
