Restore

Assuming you have followed the How Do I Backup My Data instructions, you can restore your database as follows...

Note LedgerSMB versions prior to version 1.9.16 did not support PostgreSQL 14 or higher due to a backward incompatible change in PostgreSQL 14.

Log in to the the 'setup.pl' administrative interface, using your ledgersmb database admin user (usually "lsmb_dbadmin" or "postgres"). The default address for setup.pl is http://localhost/ledgersmb/setup.pl.

There are 2 buttons:

• Backup database (parts, customers, accounting records, etc)
• Backup roles (your login accounts and rights)

One creates a backup of the content of your database. The other creates a backup of the roles.
