File Restore

Use the Restore utility to take the data from backup files and bring it into the Cobra database.

Note: Cobra only restores backup files for versions 5.0 or higher.

You can only back up and restore data for projects to which you have access.

You can restore any of the file types for which you can make backups using the Backup utility. These are:

File Type Extension
Projects .CMP
Master Projects .CMP
Reports .CRP
Batch Reports .CBR
Report Filters .CFT
Report Sorts .CST
Acumen Configuration Definitions .ACD
Integration Configuration Definitions .ICD
wInsight Configuration Definitions .WCD

You cannot restore files of different types in a single restore session. For example, you cannot restore .CMP (project) and .CRP (report) files in a single restore session.

Note: Cobra requires an exclusive lock on a project to successfully restore backup files. If the backup files are being restored to a project that is locked by another user, Cobra will not proceed with the restore.
