Cobra follows a set of rules when restoring reports and configurations.

These rules and conditions are as follows:

  • Restoring as a SYSADMIN user uses the owner on the backup file as the OWNER of the file being restored.
  • Restoring as a non-SYSADMIN user uses the currently logged-in user as the OWNER of the file being restored.
  • The access control information of the backup file is always restored. You can not can restore a shared report as personal.

  • If a shared report with the same name does not exist, and a personal report which belongs to the same owner with the same name exists, Cobra displays a confirmation prompt to overwrite the existing file.
