Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and click OK
Change the current directory to the one where the Adaxes Service is installed.
For example, type the following command and press Enter: cd C:\Program Files\Softerra\Adaxes 3\Service.
To back up the service configuration, type the following command at the command prompt and press Enter:
Softerra.Adaxes.BackupRestore.exe /b C:\AdaxesBackup.bak -l C:\AdaxesBackup.log -u <username> <password>
In this case the backup file (AdaxesBackup.bak) and the backup log file (AdaxesBackup.log) will be located in the root directory of the local disk C.
To restore the service configuration, at the command prompt, type the following command, and then press Enter:
Softerra.Adaxes.BackupRestore.exe /r C:\AdaxesBackup.bak -l C:\AdaxesBackup.log -u <username> <password>
In this case, the backup file (AdaxesBackup.bak), from which you restore the configuration, must be located in the root directory of the local disk C. The log file (AdaxesBackup.log) will be saved to the same location.
For possible command line parameters of Softerra.Adaxes.BackupRestore.exe, see Backup/Restore Command Line Parameters.
