Restore of configuration

Automatic backups of the database are regularly created by Network Monitor. The backups are placed in the KNM\backup folder of the KNM host machine, together with a copy of the dbconfig.nxd file. The restore command line utility can replace the current configuration with a backup.

Warning: Restoring a previous version of your configuration overwrites the current configuration.

1. Shutdown Network Monitor.
2. Make a backup of the current settings.rds and dbconfig.nxd files.
3. Remove the settings.rds and dbconfig.nxd file from the KNM directory.
4. Copy the dbconfig-YYYY-MM-DD.bak file from the \backup directory and rename it to dbconfig.nxd.
5. Open up a command line prompt and navigate to your KNM directory.
6. On the command prompt type the following, then press enter.

nmservice.exe -restore backup\settings-YYYY-MM-DD.bak

Network Monitor restores the settings.rds database from the settings-YYYY-MM-DD.bak file.

Note: It's very important that you do this operation using settings-YYYY-MM-DD.bak and dbconfig-YYYY-MM-DD.bak files that have the same date.
