The Softerra.Adaxes.BackupRestore.exe tool is used to back up and restore the configuration of Adaxes services. This tool is installed along with the Adaxes Service and is usually located in C:\Program Files\Softerra\Adaxes 3\Service.
Command line parameters:
| Command | Parameters | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| /b|backup | <path-to-file> | Backs up the Adaxes service configuration to the file specified by this parameter. This parameter is required. |
| -l <path-to-log-file> | Writes log information about the backup process to the file specified by this parameter. This parameter is optional. | |
| -u|user <username> <password> | Specifies the credentials of the default service administrator. This parameter is optional. | |
| /r|restore | <path-to-file> | Restores the Adaxes service configuration from the file specified by this parameter. This parameter is required. |
| -l <path-to-log-file> | Writes log information about the restore process to the file specified by this parameter. This parameter is optional. | |
| -u|user <username> <password> | Specifies the credentials of the default service administrator. This parameter is optional. | |
| /help|h|? | Shows usage information. |
| The <username> and <password> are credentials of the default administrator of the service, configuration of which you want to back up or restore. If you back up/restore a service that shares its configuration, you can use credentials of a default administrator of any service in the configuration set. |
| Passwords for managed domains are not saved in the backup file. So, after you restore a service configuration, you need to provide logon information for managed domains. |
The following example shows how to backup the service configuration:
Softerra.Adaxes.BackupRestore.exe /b C:\Adaxes.bak -l C:\AdaxesBackup.log -u DOMAIN\Administrator secret
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.
The following example shows how to restore the service configuration:
Softerra.Adaxes.BackupRestore.exe /r C:\Adaxes.bak -l C:\AdaxesBackup.log -u DOMAIN\Administrator secret
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.
