Snipe-it: Documentation: Restoring from backup

[sbarsanti]

Is there any documentation around restoring from a backup?

[snipe]

Restoring what, specifically?

[snipe]

You can restore the db using php artisan db:restore yourdumpfilename.sql. The folders (with uploads etc) just need to be moved manually back to where they belong.

In Admin>Backups I clicked "Generate Backup" now I want to use that zip file to restore my database

[sbarsanti]

Ok, thanks so much! Really love this project

[snipe]

You can't restore it using the whole zip. You have to unzip, and either manually import the SQL file back into your database, or use the command above. One-click restore might be something we add later, but it's not available at this point.

Excellent thanks.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but has there been any progress on this? It seems like a useful feature.
