Restoring a TapeAssure database file
When you restore a previously-saved database file, the current database and associated data is
first saved as a backup database file then is overwritten. All data that was added to the current
database after the restore file was saved will be lost. A restore action cannot be undone; however,
you can restore the (automatically-saved) current database if necessary. If the restore operation
fails, the current database is not changed.
