Backup & Restore Data

A guide on how to backup and restore your MOTAR Ghost instance.

Backing Up Your Instance

Backups can only be performed by the Platform Owner!

Backing up your MOTAR Ghost instance is as simple as downloading a file.

Simply login as the Platform Owner:

Platform Owner Management Screen

Go to the ADMIN Section > Managed Data tab and click "Backup Data".

An information list will show each backup and when the backup was performed. Backups are NOT stored on the instance!

Manage Data

A save file dialog popup will prompt you to save the backup file locally. This file contains ALL of your instance data (all users, assets, etc).

Backup creation popup during loading...

Your download time may vary depending on the amount of data stored and your bandwidth, please be patient while the file is compressed and downloaded.

Restore from Backup

WARNING!

Restoring your instance from a backup is performed from the same menu as backing up. It should be noted that restoring from a back is a destructive process, all data entered since the last backup will be lost!

As a Platform Manager navigate to the Manage Data tab:

Manage Data

Select Restore Data

A popup will open. Read carefully and click "Select File to Restore"

A file manager window will open. Select the backup file you would like to restore.

WARNING!

Loading screen during a restore.

Once the data is restored, you will be logged out of the system and will need to log back in.
