Data backup and recovery
The TSLab program provides you with the ability to create and restore data backups.
In the data backup copy, you can save the database of scripts, as well as data related to data providers - caches of orders, deals, historical data. The backup copy can be used in case of a computer failure or when transferring the TSLab program to another computer.
It is recommended that you back up your data periodically. Highly recommended for any program updates.
Creating backup
The "Create backup" window can be opened from Main Menu -> Tools -> Create backup.
Note! Before starting the backup process, you must stop all agents and disable data providers. The program will be restarted while the backup is being created.
Backup options
After you have selected the necessary data backup items, click the Next button.
If you have selected Data Provider Cache Items, you will be presented with a choice of providers for which caches will be stored. Select the information you need and click Next.
In the next step, you will be prompted to select a directory to which the backup will be made. You can also set a password for the file containing your data.
To complete the backup operation, click the Start button. After starting the backup process, the TSLab program will be restarted.
Restore backup
The "Restore backup" window can be opened from Main Menu -> Tools -> Restore backup.
Pay attention! Before starting the data recovery process, you must stop all agents and disable data providers. During data recovery, the program will be restarted.
Specify the path to the saved copy of the data and the password (if you have set a password for the backup). Click the Next button to continue.
In the next step, you can select the items to be restored from the backup file. Learn more about the available Options. Click the Next button to continue.
If you have selected data provider cache restore options, you will be prompted to select the providers that will be restored. Select the information you need and click Next.
To start the recovery process, click the Start button. After starting the recovery process, the TSLab program will be restarted.
Transfer from one computer to another
Selecting all options will create a data backup file (a complete snapshot of the program) that can be used on a second computer.
To transfer data between computers, it is recommended to have the same version of the program on both computers. If previous versions of the program were installed on the donor computer, then it is recommended to transfer user folders and folders related to data providers manually. Depending on past versions, the vendor folders and user folders may have different locations.
Main folders
C:\Users\TSLab\AppData\Local\TSLab\TSLab2.2
In this path, the working folder on the donor computer can be: C:\Users\TSLab\AppData\Local\TSLab\TSLab2.0
And the working folder on the receiving computer: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\TSLab\TSLab2.2 In this case, the data must be transferred manually.
C:\ProgramData\TSLab\TSLab 2.2\Providers
In some versions of the program, this folder may be located in the root directory of the program. C:\Program Files\TSLab\TSLab 2.2
After deploying the file on the second computer, if necessary, in the settings of the data provider, you need to change the path to the broker applications (if any are used, for example, the folder for logging). We are talking about a discrepancy between the names of disks, usernames windows, they may differ on computers.
